Many people think of women's health in the small context of reproductive matters. It is actually of a much broader field encompassing the full span of a woman's life. It begins when the hormones first rumble in early adolescence and extends through menstruation, pregnancy, postpartum care, menopause, hormone replacement and the conditions that can result from these changes such as heart disease, bladder problems, bone loss and cancers.

Typically, women's health specialists are called upon to examine or screen for fertility problems, breast cancers, osteoporosis, fetal well being and bladder studies. In addition, EPIC radiologists encourage regular lung cancer screening and testing for heart disease.

Diagnostic imaging plays a very important role in the specialized science of women's health. The emphasis is on diagnosis, monitoring and prevention with particular attention paid to consistent evaluation and patient education.

EPIC has invested in highly sophisticated technology to assist in ensuring quality women's healthcare. High definition ultrasound, digital mammography viewbox technology for image optimization and specialized stereotactic biopsy equipment are just a few examples of what sets EPIC apart in this field.

While technology is important, it is only half the story at EPIC. We are proud to have on staff the most dedicated technologists and radiologists in the field. Respectful, patient and highly professional are the words that best describe our women's health team.
