Surgeons have cared for patients with abnormal mammograms for decades. They explain the importance of the abnormality to patients, discuss the alternatives and recommend a course of action. They perform wire-guided open surgical breast biopsy, care for the patient post-operatively and explain the pathologic findings to the patient. If cancer is found, the surgeon describes various kinds of therapy and arranges appropriate consultations with radiation and medical oncologists and even plastic surgeons. The introduction of image-guided needle biopsy has changed this traditional approach. Frequently, patients bypass the surgeon and go directly to radiologists who perform either ultrasound guided or stereotactic needle biopsy. While many surgeons now perform ultrasound-guided biopsies in their office, relatively few perform stereotactic breast biopsies. Formerly, the main reason for this was lack of acquaintance with the technique or lack of training. Now, however, educational efforts, especially by the American College of Surgeons, have trained hundreds of surgeons. Unfortunately, many of these surgeons find that they can't get privileges to perform these biopsies at their local hospitals or find that their hospitals can't afford this expensive technology. MoBx can help surgeons and their respective hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers by providing all the hardware, software and mammographic technologist help needed to develop a successful stereotactic breast biopsy program. We have the latest digital prone table technology available from Lorad and Fischer Imaging with the added availability of high definition ultrasound for biopsies as well. Our compassionate, highly experienced stereotactic mammographic technologists greet and educate your patients, position them and obtain all the preliminary images. You review the images, target and perform the biopsy. Our techs do all the rest. No worries about the capability of your technologists. No time wasted for you or your patients. Your patient leaves with a list of post-op instructions and the satisfaction that she has been treated by caring, highly qualified people who are true professionals in every sense. There is even a web site for them to contact for FAQ's. You leave with a satisfied patient, a list of all the CPT codes appropriate for the procedure and a copy of your operative note, ready for billing purposes. No waiting for that op note to be transcribed and sent to you. Instead, it's in your hand when you leave. With MoBx, you get the highest quality service, reliability and accountability. We exceed all American College of Radiology and JCAHO requirements. We are inspected yearly by radiation physicists and the divisions of radiologic health safety in each state we operate in. We have helped many centers prepare for and receive their voluntary ACR certifications. Our patient satisfaction questionnaires are uniformly laudatory. When a question is raised, we attend to the problem immediately. For more information about our service, e-mail us at info@ums-usa.com.com..
