Every “Gift from the Heart” helps South Shore Regional Hospital move closer to providing life-changing care and comfort for patients.
Increasing Breast MRI Access in Nova Scotia
For many families on the South Shore, facing a possible breast cancer diagnosis already brings enough fear and uncertainty. But for high-risk patients in our community, the journey to answers often begins with a long drive to one of only three hospitals in Nova Scotia equipped to perform breast MRIs.
Last year and this year alone, more than 100 patients from our region had no choice but to travel to Halifax, Sydney, or Yarmouth for imaging that could determine the next steps in their care. And if that MRI revealed something suspicious, they had to return home, wait for a new appointment, then make another trip back to South Shore Regional Hospital (SSRH) days or weeks later for a biopsy.
Breast MRI, recommended for high-risk patients, complements mammograms by providing clearer images, especially for those with dense breast tissue or implants. With this new equipment, including an MRI Breast Coil and Vacuum Assisted Biopsy System, we can offer both MRI and biopsy in one visit, saving patients time and stress.
