According to the American Cancer Society, women between 40 and 44 should have the option to start screening with a mammogram every year. Women 45 to 54 should get mammograms every year. The Christ Hospital Health Network offers state-of-the-art breast cancer diagnosis. If you have symptoms of breast cancer, or your screening mammogram shows an abnormality, your doctor may order one or more tests to confirm or rule out breast cancer.

•Ultrasound-guided biopsy—this type of biopsy is done if a suspicious lump or mass is felt or seen by an ultrasound.

•Stereotactic-guided biopsy—this type of biopsy is done if suspicious micro calcifications (tiny calcium specks) are seen during a screening or diagnostic mammogram.

•Breast MRI—a test that takes pictures of the breast using magnets and radio waves instead of X-ray radiation. It captures 3-D pictures that can show abnormalities in your breast in greater detail.

•Breast ultrasound—a test that uses sound waves instead of X-ray radiation to take pictures of your breast. It can help tell the difference between a solid cancerous mass and benign (non-cancerous) cysts that may be filled with fluid or air.
