Why Get a Breast Imaging Second Opinion

Studies show that breast imaging second opinions provided by a subspecialty breast radiologist often result in significant interpretation changes. Breast radiologists are able to detect more early-stage cancers, have higher accuracy rates in determining the type and stage of a breast cancer, and avert unnecessary biopsies based on benign findings. DocPanel breast radiologists help ensure a comprehensive evaluation with review of current and prior breast imaging.

How It Works

Screening mammograms miss about 20% of breast cancers. 1

THIS CAN BE A RESULT OF:

  • Dense breast tissue
  • Poor image quality
  • Non-subspecialty interpretation

    “Breast imaging can be complicated and, oftentimes, stressful. It’s an honor to provide patients with the reassurance that their scans were interpreted accurately.”
