New Services
Russo Radiology is pleased to announce our newest services for patients. Our Fairfield Women's Center has begun Ultrasound-Guided Breast Biopsy and Stereotactic Breast Biopsy methods. Generally, nonsurgical biopsies are less stressful (such as stereotactic) and do not disfigure the skin. Cells are removed from a suspicious area in the breast and then examined by a pathologist to determine the diagnosis. The Fairfield Women's Center, offers the only soft-top table in the area for maximum comfort during the procedure. For more information please contact ous; 203-683-4520.
