Diagnostic-imaging services are available for all cancers. These may include imaging procedures (e.g., MRI, CT, PET/CT and ultrasound) which produce pictures of areas inside the body and endoscopy, which allows the doctor to look directly inside certain organs; and laboratory tests. In most cases, the doctor also orders a biopsy, a procedure in which a sample of tissue is removed. A pathologist then examines the tissue under a microscope to check for cancer cells. These diagnostic services include:

• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
• Computed tomography (CT) scanning
• Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT)
• Ultrasound imaging
• Stereotactic breast biopsy
• Same-day surgical biopsy
• Comprehensive laboratory services
• Board-certified physician specialists
