Diagnostic Imaging
Your team at Milford Regional recognizes that your health is based on an accurate diagnosis when symptoms appear. For that reason, we often invest in the very latest diagnostic equipment to ensure you receive the best treatment plan based upon an accurate and timely diagnosis. Milford Regional has a strong reputation as one of the region’s leaders in providing tested, state-of-the-art diagnostic technology to our community.
Mammography
Milford Regional has recently invested in the most advanced technology in mammography. 3D mammography, also known as tomosynthesis, is a diagnostic and screening tool that allows radiologists to view your breast in multiple layers or slices creating a 3D image. 3D mammography compliments the 2D digital mammography and is performed at the same time.
Milford Regional has been performing digital mammograms for years but with the addition of tomosynthesis and brand new, upgraded digital equipment, we are able to provide the radiologist with much better visibility of breast tissue. The result is greater accuracy in finding breast cancer at its earliest stage as well as reducing call backs for another test when the radiologist wants a second look.
With convenient morning, evening and weekend hours, mammograms can be scheduled to fit your schedule! Remember, screening mammograms do not need a physician referral. Learn more about our mammography services.
Breast Biopsy
Breast biopsy technology continues to advance dramatically and our care team is dedicated to the most accurate and least invasive technology available. While we still offer needle localization and core biopsies where they are indicated, we increasingly offer stereotactic breast biopsies (the least invasive option that can accurately diagnose breast cancer at its earliest – and most treatable – stages). We also offer MRI-guided breast biopsy if the radiologist determines it is the best option. These biopsy methods minimize the need for more invasive surgical procedures.

Ultrasound
Imagine viewing your yet-to-be-born baby as though he/she is being held in your arms! 4D (or real-time 3D) images such as these are now possible at The Women’s Pavilion through the very latest in ultrasound technology. Ultrasound serves as a diagnostic tool for obstetric, pelvic, uterine, ovarian, breast, abdominal and bladder areas. The unprecedented image quality and sensitivity of 3D/4D ultrasound helps visualize abnormalities sooner, leading to earlier detection and treatment for patients.
