Diagnostic Services at the Magee-Womens Breast Cancer Program

Early detection is the best defense against breast cancer.

At Magee-Womens Breast Cancer Program in Pittsburgh, Pa., you have access to advanced testing options for identifying breast cancer at its earliest stages — even before you feel symptoms — when it's more treatable.

We offer the following diagnostic procedures in clean, comfortable, private testing areas:

• digital mammography with computer-aided detection, including 3D mammography
• minimally invasive breast biopsy (ultrasound or stereotactic guided)
• magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
• ultrasound

We work closely with breast specialists and radiologists, and can electronically send your high-quality images to any UPMC physician, expediting your treatment options.

The Breast Imaging department at Magee-Womens Hospital of UPMC uses a variety of tests to examine the breasts. A new video series, Knowledge is Power: Diagnostic & Biopsy Services for Breast Evaluation, provides more information about the methods used at Magee:
