Ocean Park Imaging is proud to be a leader in the next generation of breast MRI / mammography scanning technology. Our scanning system has been specially selected to provide the maximum in comfort for you, our valued patient — and to provide you with an unparalleled level of safety and open-air design to increase the quality of your overall experience with us.

Traditional mammography involves X-ray technology, typically using CT imaging systems. These systems are well known for a high level of discomfort, along with the exposure to X-ray radiation. Worse, many women with breast implants, those having undergone previous breast surgeries or biopsies, or those with prior or current cancer therapies are advised to avoid CT imaging due to a variety of factors:

• Inability of CT imaging to see through scar tissue
• "Smash-and-shoot" nature of old-style systems can cause breast implants to rupture
• Cancer patients are advised to limit exposure to radiation wherever possible

Ocean Park Imaging doesn't use radiation. Instead, we employ the latest in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology, powered by the Philips Panorama open-air medical imaging system. Not only is the Philips Panorama system completely safe and radiation free, but its open-air design means no more "smash-and-shoot" mammography techniques found with older X-ray-based systems.

Instead, you simply lie down comfortably on our scanning bed. Once properly positioned, the scanning technician will initiate the scanning sequence with the Panorama. After a number of minutes lying on the scanning bed in an open-air environment (no claustrophobic tunnels - just a centrally located magnet over the target scanning area), your scanning session is complete.

Our team of board-certified radiologists will then analyze your scan and provide the information to your physician in a timely manner for further consultation.

It really is that easy - and comfortable - and safe.
