The imaging services at East Houston Imaging & Breast Center are designed to assist in the diagnosis and monitoring of a wide array of medical conditions. For women, our breast imaging services play a critical role in the early detection of breast cancer, which can significantly improve treatment outcomes. Mammography, whether 2D or 3D, is recommended for women over the age of 40 or those with a family history of breast cancer. Our breast ultrasound and MRI services are often used to further evaluate abnormalities detected on mammograms or to assess high-risk patients. Beyond breast health, our general imaging services help diagnose conditions affecting the bones, joints, chest, abdomen, and other areas of the body. For example, X-rays are commonly used to identify fractures or infections, while CT and MRI scans provide detailed images of soft tissues, organs, and blood vessels, aiding in the diagnosis of conditions such as tumors, internal injuries, or neurological disorders. We also support patients undergoing treatment for chronic conditions by providing regular imaging to monitor progress and adjust care plans as needed.
