How An Image-Guided Breast Biopsy Can Save Your Life

The threat of breast cancer lies ever present in the back of women’s minds. Each checkup and visit to the doctor’s office is met with worry and anxiety. It may all lead up to the split second when your physician feels an abnormal lump on your breast. If (god forbid) that moment occurs, how will you proceed? At X-Ray Associates of New Mexico, we understand your plight — providing clear answers with our image-guided biopsy procedures.

Get Answers Quickly

When diagnosing breast cancer, no other procedure provides clarity like an image-guided breast biopsy. 

An image-guided biopsy is a minimally-invasive procedure that removes a piece of sample tissue from the suspicious area in question. This segment is then analyzed by a pathologist to determine whether the cells in the tissue are cancerous. 

The turnaround time is incredibly quick — allowing you and your doctor to get answers quickly and react swiftly if needed. In fact, your physician should receive reports from our radiologist within 7 days of the biopsy. And depending on the results, your physician can plan the next step accordingly.
