Northwest Hospital's Herman & Walter Samuelson Breast Care Center
has been designated a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology. The center is now fully accredited in mammography, stereotactic breast biopsy, breast ultrasound and ultrasound-guided breast biopsy. In late March, Robert H. Paley, M.D., joined the center as its dedicated breast radiologist who exclusively reads mammograms and other breast imaging results. "Numerous studies have shown that dedicated breast imagers are more accurate than their peers in diagnosing breast cancer and evaluating breast abnormalities," Dawn J. Leonard, breast surgeon and medical director of the breast center, said.
