Before your visit
We strive to deliver quality patient care above and beyond the technical
procedure. From preparatory consultation to final results, we are there
with you—through every step of the process. The following information
should help you prepare for your visit to our imaging centers, but please
do not hesitate to reach out to us with any questions you may have.
Be prepared
How you prepare for your exam depends on what part of the body is being
examined and the protocols used in your particular facility. In some cases
the staff may ask you to change into a hospital gown for the exam. And
you may be asked not to eat or drink anything before your exam.
3D Mammography
At East Jefferson General Hospital, we are proud to be able to provide
our patients with breast tomosynthesis or 3-D mammography. This type of
screening allows for imaging of the breast from multiple angles. This
can significantly increase the accuracy of mammography, especially for
women who are premenopausal, women with dense breasts, or those with increased
risk factors.
The great news is that 3D mammography takes the same amount of time and
causes the same low-dose of radiation as traditional mammography, but
the outcome of the exam itself is so much better.
If you are premenopausal, have dense breasts or have increased risks of
breast cancer,
Ask your physician if 3D mammography is right for you.
UroNav
UroNav is a targeted MR/ultrasound biopsy powerful new solution for targeted
biopsy of the prostate. The UroNav fusion biopsy system offers a cutting
edge option for many patients with elevated and/or rising PSA levels.
UroNav fuses pre-biopsy MR images of the prostate with ultrasound-guided
biopsy images in real time, for extraordinary delineation of the prostate.
