Mammography
is part of a life-long breast-care
program that includes breast self-exam,
clinical breast exam and mammography.
Since opening
in 1986, Providence Imaging Center
(PIC) has led the way in breast
imaging services in Alaska. In August
2005, PIC introduced digital mammography
in its three mammography suites,
and is currently the only facility
in Alaska to offer this state-of-the-art
technology in a mobile mammography
coach as well. It was the first
to offer stereotactic breast biopsy,
breast MRI, computer-aided detection,
sentinel node evaluation for breast
cancer patients, and mobile mammography
in the state.
PIC's mammography
and stereotactic breast biopsy programs
are accredited by the American College
of Radiology (ACR). This review
process ensures patients and referring
health care providers that PIC's
radiologists, technologists and
equipment meet the ACR's high standards.
