Diagnostic ImagingAt St. Jude, exceptional care starts with leading-edge imaging technology, allowing our doctors to find and treat cancer with exceptional accuracy and precision.

We offer the newest and most exciting developments in cancer imaging today, including :

  • Digital mammography
  • Integrated PET/CT scans
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging, including Breast MRI
  • High speed, multi-slice CT scans
  • Ultrasound imaging
  • Stereotactic and MR-guided breast biopsies
  • Digital radiology

We offer integrated PET/CT scans – a dramatic improvement in diagnostic imaging. By combining two sophisticated technologies – positron emission tomography (PET) and high-speed, multi-slice computer tomography (CT) – into one system, it provides extraordinary opportunities for detecting cancer early, determining the extent of cancer present and assessing treatment success.

This leading-edge technology allows our cancer specialists to see both metabolic and anatomical information together in one image.  St. Jude also offers the latest advance in diagnosing breast cancer: breast biopsies guided in real-time by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. MR-guided breast biopsy streamlines the diagnostic process and makes it possible to biopsy suspicious tissue that would otherwise be very difficult to target. It also allows the biopsy of abnormalities not seen well by mammogram or ultrasound.
