Clarkston's only Breast Center of Excellence
The McLaren Breast Center is a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to providing advanced and comprehensive breast health services. The Breast Center features the latest diagnostic technology, which is critical to the early detection of breast cancer and other breast conditions. Other major components of the Breast Center include evaluation and treatment planning by a multidisciplinary team of specialists including Clarkston's only fellowship trained breast imaging radiologist. Becoming a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence (BICOE) is a voluntary process and was undertaken by the center to show its commitment to providing high quality services.
The BICOE designation means the breast imaging services at the center are fully accredited in mammography, stereotactic breast biopsy, breast ultrasound and ultrasound-guided breast biopsy. Peer-review evaluations, conducted in each breast imaging modality by board certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field, have determined that this facility has achieved high practice standards in image quality, personnel qualifications, facility equipment, quality control procedures, and quality assurance programs.
