Leading Technology
Einstein uses the most advanced techniques in cancer care:
- 3D imaging. Known as digital breast tomosynthesis, this mammogram technique allows radiologists to see smaller areas of the breast and to look through dense breast tissue to spot abnormalities. Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia has been designed as a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence (BICOE) by the American College of Radiology (ACR).
- SonoCiné automated breast ultrasound. A clinically proven way to find more cancers, this technique is especially effective for women with dense breast tissue. Einstein was the first facility in the region to offer SonoCiné technology.
- Sentinel node biopsy. This procedure pinpoints which lymph nodes affected by breast cancer, resulted in fewer removals.
- Skin-sparing mastectomy. Skilled surgeons perform immediate reconstruction of the breast with a patient’s own skin to create more natural-looking breast.
- Minimally invasive biopsies. Our team works hard to preserve your tissue, offering needles biopsies that don't require an operating room visit.
