Breast MRI Provides Advanced Imaging Technology Locally

ROCHESTER—
Frisbie Memorial Hospital is pleased to announce the availability of Breast MRI Imaging Service. Breast MRI is a highly sophisticated and sensitive method of detecting breast cancer that enhances breast cancer detection currently provided by conventional breast mammography or targeted breast ultrasound evaluations. Breast MRI adds to the comprehensive service Frisbie, in conjunction with Women’s Life Imaging, currently provides in the detection, management, and surgical treatment of breast cancer.
In addition, there is approved use of breast MRI for select patients with strong personal or familial history of breast cancer (details of which can be provided by consulting your primary care physician or Seacoast Radiology physicians), or certain gene mutations that are predisposing toward development of breast cancer. For more information on breast MRI examinations and scheduling, please contact Frisbie Memorial Hospital Radiology Department at (603) 335-8400.
