Full Service Imaging and Breast Care Center
The Breast Center of Texoma is North Texas' first full service
Breast Imaging center. Our staff is dedicated to the excellence
in care of the breast patient. We not only feature full service breast
imaging, but we also feature the complete clinical patient examination
and followup of benign and malignant breast disease as well as
surgical intervention when necessary.
The Breast Center of Texoma has a complete and convenient on-site
Imaging center. We have North Texas' first clinic-operated Digital
Stereotactic Biopsy System, and Texoma's only Somovue CT-3D
Ultrasonography and Breast Specific Molecular Imaging capabilities,
as well as state of the art Full Field Digital Hologic Selenia
Mammography. We also feature osteoporosis evaluation of all
patients with the QDR 4000 Diagnostic HOLOGIC Bone Densitometer.
Appointments for imaging and breast care consultation can be made
directly to our Breast Clinic at (940) 696-3040.
Full Field Digital Mammography / CAD (Computer Aided Detection)
Quality mammography is the most important tool of any breast clinic. Our Hologic Selenia Full Field Digital Mammography System features less radiation and unparalleled contrast resolution over conventional mammography, especially in the evaluation of the dense breast.
Experience of the technologist is critical in mammographic quality and our certified mammographers are experienced in and dedicated specifically to breast imaging and care.
All mammograms are also evaluated by CAD (computer aided detection).
CAD in conjunction with a radiologist's reading is considered 90% accurate. CAD is like getting a "second opinion" with a computer. Full Field Digital Mammography has advantages over film mammography in better evaluating ladies with dense breasts as well as exhibiting less radiation with less time and compression needed to accomplish the mammogram. Appointments for mammography can be made directly to our Breast Clinic at (940) 696-3040.
Sonography including the Automated Breast Ultrasound System
Breast Ultrasonography compliments mammograpy in all areas but especially in evaluating the dense breast.
The Breast Center of Texoma is one of the few facilities in Texas to have Automated Breast Ultrasound System (ABUS) capability. The 3D-CT ABUS Ultrasound System takes up to 350 ultrasound images of the breast and then relays the images to a work station for 3D rendering analysis. The 3D-CT ultrasound is ideal in evaluating younger ladies as well as evaluating any lady with dense breasts in which the scope of mammography is limited.
3D-CT ultrasonography is complimented by the Aloka 2D Ultrasound for real time breast scanning and to specifically target abnormalities for ultrasound localized biopsies.
Stereotactic Imaging, Localization and Biopsy
The Digital Stereotactic Imaging and Minimally Invasive Biopsy System is one of the biggest advances in overall breast care in the last decade.
Stereotactic digital imaging allows virtually any breast abnormality to be localized and thus pin pointed for either removal or biopsy. The Breast Center of Texoma was the first Breast Clinic in Texoma to utilize this technology. Many biopsies can be done stereotactically in the Breast Center as opposed to undergoing surgical excision at the hospital. This compliments both mammography and ultrasonography in obtaining biopsies of small to almost microscopic lesions. This is just one more tool to help with the early detection of breast cancer.
Breast Specific Molecular Imaging - Dilon
Breast Specific Molecular Imaging (BSMI) is one of the most recent advances in breast imaging and The Breast Center of Texoma is the one of the few breast centers in Texas with this technology.
BSMI studies the breast at the molecular level and provides information that no other breast imaging modality can. With 99% accuracy it can image breast cancers as small as 3mm when other study modalities are negative. This highly sensitive exam is a great tool to compliment digital mammogralphy and 3D-CT ultrasonography in the early detection of breast cancer. Evaluating the dense breast presents the biggest challenge to all breast centers and Breast Specific Molecular Imaging and 3D-CT Ultrasonography allow us to better accept and meet that challenge.
Bone Densitometry
Bone Densitometry (DEXA) adds an important dimension to our Breast Center in managing the needs of our patients. We offer DEXA exams to patients for the diagnosis of osteoporosis and to closely monitor patients who are on drug therapy. The ability to compare each scan allows us to track a patient's need and changes in bone health. This is a simple, inexpensive and accurate test and is especially useful in following patients who have a contraindication to hormonal management of their osteoporosis or osteopenia. Appointments for Bone Density can be made directly to our Breast Center at (940) 696-3040
