Advanced Radiology Clinics Murwillumbah
Breast in Byron

X-ray and imaging specialists kingscliff breast imaging is part of the advanced radiology clinic imaging group. We are also the first to bring a specialist radiologist to kingscliff that allows us to be able to perform breast lesion biopsies for pathology analysis. We have installed the first ever permanent mammogram machine in june 2010 and have the latest state of the art ultrasound machine. Our goal is to provide kingscliff and the southern tweed shire with a first class breast imaging facility. Being locals ourselves and since breast screen australia does not come to kingscliff, we felt the need to provide this vital piece of imaging to the local people.

ARC Radiology are leaders in medical imaging on the Tweed Coast and Byron Shire. Our Radiologist have been at the forefront of Radiology in Australia for around 30 years. ARC Radiology is committed to delivering first class service and delivering our referring clinicians and patients with a service that is second to none. We are the beginning Radiology company in the Byron Shire to offer CT, mammography and Bone mineral densitometry and the beginning in Kings cliff to offer CT, Bone Mineral Densitometry and Radiologist performed interventional procedures including injections and biopsies to the communities of these two areas.

Ultrasounds are performed by a sonographer, a specialist in medical ultrasound. Also obvious as a cardiac ultrasound, it uses standard ultrasound techniques to image two dimensional slices of the heart. Many patients also receive iodine intravenously (injected into a vein) to aid evaluate blood vessels and organs such as the liver, kidneys and pancreas. You will be alone in the exam room during the CT scan. Distinct normal brays, CT scanning provides very detailed images of many types of tissue as healthy as the lungs, bones, and blood vessels. A scan is performed before the contrast is given and after. Are there risks associated with contrast? Although there is usually small or no waiting times for a CT scan appointments are essential as there is often some preparation required. Osteoporosis is a disease that results in a meaningful risk of fracture. A mammography exam, called a mammogram, is old to help in the premature detection and diagnosis of breast diseases in women. Screening Mammography plays a central part in hasty detection of breast cancers because it can reveal changes in the breast up to two years earlier a tolerant or physician can feel them. During mammography, a specially competent radio logic technologist will position your breast in the mammography unit. Imaging of the breast improves a physician's skill to detect insignificant tumors. Exceptional concern is taken during Bray examinations to use the lowest radiation dose conceivable while producing the superior images for evaluation. Not all cancers of the breast can be seen on mammography. Prior the mammogram is taken, they should make sure the technologist is experienced in performing mammography on patients with breast implants. Ultrasound imaging of the breast produces a picture of the inside structures of the breast. Supplemental Breast Cancer Screening Mammography is the only screening tool for breast cancer that is obvious to lessen deaths due to breast cancer through hasty detection. Many studies have shown that ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can aid supplement mammography by detecting insignificant breast cancers that may not be visible with mammography. Supplemental screening ultrasound is usually only considered for women at tall risk for breast cancer when the breast tissue is dense. When ultrasound is used for screening, many abnormalities are seen which may require biopsy but are not cancer (false positives), and this limits its cost effectiveness. Are at intermediate risk for breast cancer based on family history, personal history of breast cancer, or earlier biopsy showing an abnormal result. Have silicone breast implants and very trivial tissue can be included on the mammogram. Are at tall risk for breast cancer based on family history, personal history of breast cancer, or before atypical biopsy result.
