Whatever your breast density…
Whatever your risk…
The Women’s Imaging Center in Lakeland has you covered!

The Women’s Imaging Center is the most comprehensive outpatient breast imaging center in Central Florida for women of all risk categories. Have your annual testing done here with confidence… knowing that we have the right imaging tools, the right expertise and the commitment to quality you’d expect from the leader in women’s imaging.

Unlike other imaging providers offering many different types of healthcare services for many different types of patients, the Women’s Imaging Center is dedicated to only serving the imaging needs of women only.

All women over 40 should have an annual mammogram, and younger women at a higher risk. African American women and Ashkenazi Jewish women are at a higher risk for certain types of breast cancers and should talk to their doctor about starting a breast screening program in their 30s.

3D Mammography

Annual screening mammograms offer women their best chance for early detection. At RIS, we offer the latest in 3D mammography for improved detection, fewer call backs and fewer false positives.

To schedule an appointment with Radiology and Imaging Specialists in Lakeland, please call 863-688-2334.

Automated Breast Ultrasound (ABUS)

For women with dense breasts, a supplemental screening test is recommended. ABUS can find cancers that may be hidden within dense breast tissue and may be difficult to spot on a mammogram. Your breast density is measured during your annual mammogram. If you aren’t sure about your breast density, and you had your last mammogram at a RIS center, just call us!

Breast MRI

Ideal for high-risk women, women with implants and women who may be pregnant. Breast MRI is the most sensitive of all breast imaging tests, capable of identifying smaller and more invasive cancers than with mammography alone.

Imaging-Guided Biopsy

If a biopsy is needed, WIC offers minimally invasive MRI- and ultrasound-guided biopsies, along with stereotactic breast biopsy, in a more comfortable and convenient non-hospital environment.

Where you choose to have your imaging performed can make all the difference!

Even if your doctor has recommended a facility, you have the right to choose your own imaging provider. Choose Women’s Imaging Center for the latest imaging technology, doctors who have undergone advanced training in breast imaging our unequaled commitment to exceptional patient service!

Subspecialty (fellowship) training in breast imaging is not required to read and interpret mammograms, breast ultrasound and breast MRI. However, we at the Women’s Imaging Center believe that an additional 1-2 years of advanced training CAN make a difference. Experience matters, and we believe this adds an added measure of diagnostic confidence for our patients and the doctors who serve them.

Is ABUS right for me?

This supplemental examination to mammography is ideal for women who have dense breast tissue as determined by your most recent mammogram. It is safe for women with breast implants, as well as women who are pregnant, may be pregnant or who are nursing. A prescription from your physician is required for this exam.

You should wear a loose-fitting two piece outfit for the examination. You may eat or drink the day of the exam. No talcum powder, perfume or deodorant under your arms and breast area the day of your exam.

Most ultrasound examinations are painless, fast and easy. An ABUS screening is unlike a mammogram. Ultrasound examinations usually take less than 30 minutes. You will lie on your back on an examining table. Our caring radiology technologist or doctor will apply warm gel on your skin and press the transducer firmly against your breast or breasts, moving it until the desired images are captured. There may be varying degrees of discomfort from pressure as the technologist guides the transducer over the breast being imaged.

Insurance usually covers preventive care examinations. You may wish to check with your provider to see if they will reimburse you for this procedure. If they do, we are happy to provide you with the necessary documentation required for submission.

Fortunately, this is a relatively inexpensive screening and is affordable to have on an annual basis. If you’re interested, just ask our front desk for more information, including the cost of the exam.
