Negotiating the stepping stones to good breast health care can feel unsettling…

At Washington Radiology’s Comprehensive Breast Centers we can help you achieve the balance you need. Our compassionate and experienced breast care center staff members and medical professionals will support and guide you as soon as you step through our doors for a mammogram. If you need more than an annual mammogram, you can be assured that our team will be on your side to help with every step in your diagnostic evaluation.

Together we will discuss your mammography findings and make recommendations. We will answer your questions and communicate promptly with your referring health care provider. WRA offers:

• Knowledgeable, board-certified radiologists who specialize in breast imaging
• Accessible and compassionate breast care navigators to coordinate your care
• Radiologic technologists with mammography certification to perform your mammogram
• The most up to date digital mammography technology with Computer-Aided Detection
• Prompt access to breast ultrasound, dedicated breast MRI or minimally invasive breast biopsy if required
• WRA is first in the DC metro area to offer Breast Tomosynthesis (3D Mammography). The addition of tomosynthesis to the traditional mammogram helps improve breast cancer detection while decreasing the number of patients we call back for additional testing.

All WRA locations have been designated as Breast Imaging Centers of Excellence by the American College of Radiology. ACR peer-review evaluations, conducted in each breast imaging modality by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field, have determined that each of WRA's facilities has achieved high practice standards in image quality, personnel qualifications, facility equipment, quality control procedures, and quality assurance programs.

Breast Imaging Center of Excellence appointments for Digital Mammography, Stereotactic Breast Biopsy, Breast MRI and Breast MRI Biopsy, Breast Ultrasound and Ultrasound-Guided Breast Biopsy are available at Washington Radiology's Washington, DC, Chevy Chase, Potomac, Bethesda, Fairfax and Sterling locations.
