Mammography

A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast that is done to screen for breast cancer and to investigate lumps that can be felt during a breast exam. It can also detect tumors or abnormal areas that are too small to be felt with the hands.

Bone density exam

A bone density test is a kind of X-ray test. It measures the density of minerals (such as calcium) in your bones. This information helps your doctor estimate the strength of your bones. We all lose some bone mass as we age. Bones naturally become thinner (called low bone density) as you grow older. This is because existing bone tissue is broken down faster than new bone is made. As this occurs, our bones lose calcium and other minerals. They also become lighter and less dense. This makes the bones weaker and makes them more likely to break (fracture). With further bone loss, low bone density (sometimes called osteopenia) can lead to osteoporosis. So, the thicker your bones are, the longer it takes to get osteoporosis. Although osteoporosis can occur in men, it is most common in women older than age 65.

Nuclear medicine

Nuclear medicine imaging is a non-invasive procedure that requires an injection, ingestion or inhalation of a safe amount of a radioactive material. The radioactive materials are called radiopharmaceuticals and assist in diagnosis or treatment of certain medical conditions. Radiopharmaceuticals are metabolized by the patient’s own body to show the function of a particular organ. Common nuclear medicine studies include bone scans, lung scans, gallbladder scans, gastric emptying studies, thyroid scans and heart studies. The nuclear medicine department also performs several types of therapies that involve the administration of radiopharmaceuticals to treat various conditions.
