  • Medical exam side effects?

    Neither a mammogram nor a breast sonogram would cause these symptoms. J P Cook, MD READ MORE

  • Can a biopsy be done through an imaging scan?

    A breast lump should first undergo diagnostic imaging to determine if it is suspicious or not suspicious. Standard of care for biopsy of a suspicious breast lump is by imaging guidance if it can be seen (preferably by ultrasound as no radiation is used, by stereotactic/tomographic approach which uses radiation like a mammogram if not seen on ultrasound, or by MRI if not seen on ultrasound or mammogram) and its position is accessible. If not, surgical biopsy would be appropriate. READ MORE
