Imaging Tests

Breast Imaging

Mammography is used as a screening and diagnostic test that uses radiology to provide images of breast tissue. Breast ultrasonography may be used as an additional testing method. Resulting images are used to detect and diagnose any abnormalities and determine the need for further testing or treatment. We refer our patients to Radiology and Imaging with locations around the pioneer valley or the Comprehensive Breast Center at Baystate Health. For an in-depth discussion of breast imaging, visit UpToDate.   

Bone Density

Bone density is a screening test that is used to measure bone health especially when a patient is at risk for or determined to have osteoporosis. The test can be performed at Radiology and Imaging with locations around the pioneer valley. Based on the results, your practitioner may recommend a specific plan to build or maintain your bone health. For more information about Bone Density, click here for an UpToDate discussion.
