Three Procedures to Help Detect Breast Cancer

Manatee Memorial Hospital's Breast Care Center offers three procedures -- digital mammography, breast MRI and stereotactic breast biopsy -- to help detect and diagnose breast cancer. These technologies help make it easier to find small tumors and calcium deposits, which might be a precursor to breast cancer.

Following is a brief overview of digital mammography, breast MRI and stereotactic breast biopsy.
