Position Highlights 

Team Approach to Breast & Diagnostic Imaging. The breast imaging department collaborates to provide comprehensive screening, diagnostic and interventional services for a wide variety of patients. We provide tomosynthesis, automated breast ultrasound screening (ABUS), stereotactic biopsy, wire-localization, MRI and MR-guided biopsy services.

Approximately 400 cases of breast cancer are treated each year.  This position also includes general radiology work (e.g., chest radiographs and plain films) and ability to supervise and interpret ultrasound exams.  There is also flexibility to read in other areas of diagnostic radiology if that is desired. 

Integrative Breast Cancer Care Line. The breast imaging team enjoys a face-to-face and first name relationship with in-house medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, radiation oncologists and pathologists. All members of the team work for Virginia Mason and have the same cultural approach to care: the patient comes first. Virginia Mason also supports multiple breast clinics staffed by ARNP’s who see patients urgently and communicate biopsy results. Our team also includes genetic counselors and risk assessment.
