MRI Breast Imaging - CAD based
Orange County Diagnostics is equipped with a state-of-0the-art Breast MRI CAD System,
DynaCAD.
Breast MRI is an excellent problem-solving technology that is often used to Investigate
breast concerns first detected with mammography, physical exam, or other imaging exams.
It is also useful for staging breast cancer to determine the most appropriate treatment,
and for patient follow-up after breast cancer treatment.
MRI is also excellent at imaging the augmented breast.
A breast tissue evaluation with implants is concerned with the
tissue surrounding the implant to detrmine whether or not there is cancer.
Abnormalities or signs of breast cancer in these tissues can sometimes be obscured
by the implant on a mammogram. This type of exam requires a contrast agent.
An implant evaluation,on the other hand, is just concerned with the implants.
For example if they are leaking or have ruptured. A contrast agent is usually not used
in such exams and will therefore provide no information about the possibility of disease
in the breast tissue itself.
Using DynaCAD, our Radiologists are equipped with a comprehensive set of computer-assisted
diagnosis (CAD) tools to perform real-time image analysis and interventional procedures
with significantly increased diagnostic confidence.
