At the Seattle Breast Center at Northwest Hospital, we believe that every woman has a better chance of fighting breast cancer if she understands the risk factors, how to detect the disease, and the options for treatment. The Seattle Breast Center offers a variety of services and resources for our community, from screening and prevention to support groups and education.

Our comprehensive care begins with state-of-the-art, digital mammograms. Specialized breast radiologists read and interpret the mammograms utilizing state-of-the-art Computer-Assisted Detection (CAD) to aid in the earliest possible detection of breast cancer. If patients need follow-up studies, we provide the following services in one convenient location:

These studies include:

• Screening mammograms.
• Diagnostic mammograms.
• Breast ultrasound.
• Stereotactic guided needle biopsy.
• Ultrasound guided needle biopsy.
• Ultrasound guided excisional breast biopsy.
• Breast MRI and MRI guided needle biopsy.
  The Seattle Breast Center at Northwest Hospital was the first non-academic facility in the Seattle area to offer breast MRI biopsy.
• Ultrasound guided cyst aspirations.
• Pre-surgical wire localization.
• Ductography.
• DEXA Bone Densitometry.
