About Breast Center
The Breast Center has some of the most advanced technology available in the country and offers all forms of breast imaging.
Digital Mammography at UAMS
We are an all-digital mammography center and are accredited as an American College of Radiology Breast Center of Excellence. Digital mammography has been proven to be superior to conventional mammography in the diagnosis of small breast cancers, particularly in women under 50 and those with dense breasts. And all diagnostic patients receive the results of their tests before leaving the Center.
Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) technology is used as a “second look” at the original mammogram, with suspicious areas highlighted for the radiologist to review. CAD technology has been proven to increase the accuracy of mammography.
The Team Approach
UAMS has assembled a Breast Team™ of some of the most respected physicians and health care professionals in the nation, experts who specialize in diagnosing and fighting breast cancer. This team consists of breast surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and plastic surgeons. All surgical and complicated cases are discussed with this group at a weekly multidisciplinary breast conference.
Parking Information
Parking is available in Parking Deck 3 at the corner of Cedar and Capitol. Valet parking is available in front of the Outpatient Center for a fee.
