[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GW has a rep for having one of the best breast imaging programs in the country. Basically they are very aggressive. They follow up on everything that raises a question. if an area is too dense to get a clear view of, they will do magnified views. if there is a lump, even if it doesn't show up on a mammogram, or a suspicious finding, they will do a biopsy. My breast cancer diagnosis was delayed because I was going somewhere else where I had a lump that didn't show up because of dense breasts and they told me I was fine, no follow up. That never would have happened at GW. Plus they use cutting edge technologies like 3D ultrasound, which is effective for dense breasts. They are the only ones in the area who have it. So I disagree with PP about GW, but it sounds like she wasn't going there for routine screening anyway.[/quote] They aren't the only ones in the area who have a 3D ultrasound. I had that at Sibley.[/quote]
