Under the stewardship of Alan Semine, M.D., Medical Director of Breast Imaging, and Chief of Breast Imaging at Newton Wellesley Hospital, the breast imaging program at Shields facilities is second to none. Dr. Semine and our team of highly qualified professionals share a steadfast commitment to the advancement of breast imaging and women’s health. MRI of the breasts is often a key component in the evaluation of breast disease. Breast imaging when used in conjunction with conventional mammography, provides valuable information for the detection and characterization of breast disease. Although it does not replace mammography it does provide additional diagnostic information. Breast MRI is performed for a number of reasons including: adjunct screening with mammography in high genetic risk patients, surgical planning, staging and planning of breast cancer treatment, post surgical and post radiation follow up, dense breast tissue evaluation and evaluating trouble areas identified through a mammogram or ultrasound, and diagnosis of breast implant rupture. |
