Breast Biopsy

At Missouri Delta, we are committed to providing an exceptional breast biopsy experience, utilizing the latest advancements in medical technology. We are proud to offer 3D™-guided breast biopsy, an advanced, minimally invasive procedure employing the Hologic® Affirm™ Prone Breast Biopsy System.

This state-of-the-art 3D imaging technology enhances the precision and accuracy of lesion localization, allowing for the targeting of areas that may be difficult to detect with traditional imaging methods. The Hologic Affirm™ system offers numerous benefits over standard X-ray-guided biopsy procedures, including faster lesion targeting, fewer X-ray exposures, and a shorter overall procedure time. These advantages contribute to a reduced patient radiation dose and a more comfortable experience.

Key benefits of this technology over traditional 2D stereotactic procedures include:

• Faster Targeting: Resulting in a reduced procedure time for patients.
• Minimized Compression Time: Enhancing patient comfort during the procedure.
• Lower Radiation Exposure: Fewer X-ray exposures reduce the patient's overall dose.
• 360° Access to the Breast: This allows for seamless access to challenging lesions, minimizing the need for patient repositioning.

By incorporating these advanced capabilities, Missouri Delta ensures a higher level of precision, efficiency, and patient care throughout the breast biopsy process.
