Women’s Imaging
The Women’s Imaging section at King Abdulaziz Medical City – MNGHA offers a service running by specialized experts ( specialized radiologists and certified technologists ) using leading-edge technology.
KAMC - RD women’s imaging section provides all breast imaging and interventional services using state of the art technology, including screening and diagnostic mammography and digital breast tomosynthesis, breast ultrasound, breast MRI and imaging guided biopsies ultrasound guided and stereotactic biopsy, as well as wire and wireless localization.
Our close collaborations with breast surgery, pathology, and oncology through weekly tumor board meetings provide a stimulating environment that results in comprehensive patient care. The imaging department offers a web-based system (PeerVue) for incidental suspected cancers to ensure fast and efficient patient care.
In the last year, our team has performed over 9000 breast imaging studies (mammograms and breast ultrasound), around 1500 breast MRIs, and approximately 1800 interventional procedures (wire localizations, vacuum-assisted stereotactic biopsies, cyst aspirations, and core breast biopsies).
We pride ourselves on providing a one-stop breast diagnostic clinic that features the gold-standard triple assessment process, which involves three diagnostic measures “ clinical examination, imaging, and biopsy.” Staging examinations of the brain, chest, abdomen, and pelvis, as well as a bone scan, are also organized.
