This enables surgeons to locate the area with less disruption to healthy tissue. Wireless localization device placement: Radiologists use advanced localization devices to mark the location of the surgical area.Image-guided breast biopsy: Imaging guides the needle removing a tissue sample, which we can then test for cancer.Breast MRI: A magnetic field and radio waves produce more detailed images than tomosynthesis.Breast ultrasound: This test uses soundwaves to produce images that offer a closer look at breast tissue and blood flow.No personal or family history of breast cancer.Not having breast cancer symptoms, such as a change in breast appearance, a lump or nipple discharge other than breast milk.To be eligible, you must meet specific requirements, which include: Many women receive 3D mammograms without a physician’s order.
