The Breast Center of Suburban Imaging
Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI) is now available at The Breast Center of Suburban Imaging. MBI is an FDA-approved technique to aid in the detection, diagnosis and follow-up care of breast cancers. MBI does not replace an annual mammogram, but is used as an additional diagnostic tool.

We now offer on-site creatinine testing for CT and MRI contrast exams if a current result (within the last 60 days) is not available.
Suburban Imaging-Southdale
We now offer paracentesis, an outpatient based procedure to remove excess fluid from a patient’s abdominal cavity due to cirrhosis and/or cancer. We offer both therapeutic and diagnostic drainages to improve patient comfort and provide rapid laboratory information for the provider.
We have also added MR enterography. This MRI exam is primarily used to image the small bowel and to a lesser extent, the large bowel. MR enterography is performed to detect Crohn’s disease and assess the extent if present.
