Core offering

Elizabeth Wende Breast Care operates seven outpatient breast imaging facilities in the greater Rochester, NY area, providing screening and diagnostic breast imaging services (3D mammography, breast ultrasound, breast MRI, contrast-enhanced mammography, and stereotactic/MRI-guided biopsy), along with cancer risk assessment, genetic counseling, and DEXA bone density testing with Trabecular Bone Score. The practice delivers same-day imaging results via text or email and is staffed exclusively by breast imaging specialist radiologists who double-read all screening mammograms.

Product overview

Elizabeth Wende Breast Care is a specialized breast imaging center offering a comprehensive suite of breast health services through seven outpatient facilities in the Rochester, NY area. As the first dedicated breast clinic in the United States (established 1975), EWBC provides core imaging services including 3D Mammography (DBT), Breast Ultrasound, Breast MRI, Breast Biopsy, and Contrast-Enhanced Mammogram (CEM). The organization complements these diagnostic services with Cancer Risk Assessment and Genetic Counseling for personalized screening plans. Additionally, EWBC offers Bone Density Testing using DEXA with Trabecular Bone Score (TBS) analysis. Patient access is supported through a Patient Portal (powered by Avairis) and a mobile app. All services are delivered by breast imaging specialists with same-day results provided at all locations.

Products and services

• 3D Mammography (Digital Breast Tomosynthesis - DBT) Advanced breast cancer detection technology that captures multiple cross-sectional images of breast tissue from different angles, reducing false positives and improving cancer detection accuracy. EWBC was the first facility in the region to offer this technology and has used it since 2011; it uses synthetic 2D imaging for every patient to reduce overall radiation dose.
• Breast Ultrasound Imaging service using sound waves to evaluate breast tissue, often used alongside mammography to provide additional information for patients with dense breast tissue or to characterize specific findings identified on a mammogram.
• Breast MRI Highly sensitive breast imaging exam using magnetic fields and radio waves (no radiation) recommended in addition to mammography for patients at higher risk for breast cancer. Available at the Brighton location.
• Breast Biopsy Minimally invasive core biopsy procedures to diagnose findings detected on mammography, ultrasound, or MRI. EWBC was the first to introduce stereotactic breast biopsy (1993) and MRI breast biopsy (2003) to the community.
• Genetic Counseling Counseling services for patients at risk for hereditary cancer syndromes, including review of personal and family history, determination of eligibility for genetic testing, and discussion of risks, benefits, and insurance coverage. Available in-person at Brighton and by teleconference.
• Cancer Risk Assessment Risk evaluation service using validated tools to estimate lifetime breast cancer risk based on factors such as personal and family history, breast density, prior biopsies, and age; helps determine eligibility for enhanced screening or genetic counseling.
• Bone Density Testing (DEXA with Trabecular Bone Score) Specialized bone mineral density test using DXA (Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry) combined with Trabecular Bone Score (TBS) software that evaluates bone texture and quality without additional radiation or scan time. Available at all seven locations as standard of care.
• Contrast-Enhanced Mammogram (CEM) Specialized mammogram performed after injection of iodine-based contrast dye to highlight areas of increased blood flow, making some cancers easier to detect, especially in patients with dense breast tissue or when additional evaluation is needed.

Quantifiable outcome

• Nearly 40% reduction in breast cancer mortality in the U.S. since 1990 attributed to mammography screening
