Service Spotlight

Stereotactic Breast Biopsy

UPMC Bedford Memorial has expanded its health and wellness services available to women with the addition of digital stereotactic breast biopsies.  

If a suspected abnormality is found on your mammogram, and you need a biopsy, you may be able to avoid traditional surgery with a stereotactic breast biopsy.  It’s a simple outpatient procedure that takes as little as 15 minutes. 

A stereotactic breast biopsy is the most accurate, efficient, and minimally-invasive biopsy technique today. This simple and safe procedure requires an incision so small that stitches are not needed and allows patients to immediately resume normal activities.​

Ask your doctor if stereotactic breast biopsy at UPMC Bedford Memorial is right for you.
