Diagnostic Breast Imaging is is performed for women who are having a breast problem such as a lump, unusual nipple discharge, or pain, or have had previous breast cancer or breast implants.
Diagnostic Mammograms are specialized breast x-rays. These breast x-rays are available at MedRay Imaging only, and are not available at the Screening Mammography Program of British Columbia.
Ultrasound of the Breast is done to assist in diagnosing breast conditions. A breast ultrasound may be done following a mammogram or by itself.
