For Physicians

The University of Florida Division of Women's Imaging uses conventional mammography and ultrasound for breast imaging and image-guided biopsy/localization procedures. In addition, each patient experiences a softer mammogram made possible by MammoPad ®. These foam pads that are designed to serve as a cushion between the patient’s breasts and the mammography equipment, thereby making the experience more comfortable.

The division has expanded its services at both the Shands Jacksonville Breast Health Center (MQSA accredited) and the new Advanced Breast Imaging Center to include newer forms of X-ray-based mammography (digital mammography, with tomosynthesis capabilities anticipated) and breast ultrasound (3-D imaging and elastography). The division plans to incorporate other aspects of women's health needs (e.g. pelvic imaging) for more comprehensive integrated personalized imaging. Available imaging modalities include conventional and digital mammography, dual energy X-ray absortiometry (DEXA), ultrasound, and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging.
