Technology to Detect Breast Cancer Early at UH Elyria Medical Center

UH Elyria Medical Center offers state-of-the-art technology for screening and diagnosing breast cancer, with the goal of catching breast cancer early. These services include:

• 3-D mammograms (tomosynthesis) for fast results
• Ultrasound
• Biopsy
• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Fast Breast MRI: If you are considered high-risk for breast cancer, the American Cancer Society recommends a breast MRI in addition to your annual mammograms. A breast MRI employs magnetization and radio waves instead of X-rays to produce detailed images of the breast tissue.
• PET/CT scan

University Hospitals serves the community through a partnership with the Breast and Cervical Cancer Project. Through income-based eligibility, women have access to free mammograms and breast ultrasounds.
