Women's Imaging Services
UCLA Radiology offers two locations specifically designed for women's imaging needs. At the forefront of technology, these facilities offer the broadest spectrum of state-of-the-art tools available to ensure the highest level of quality for screening, diagnosis and treatment. This includes imaging of breast, heart, hip and uterine fibroids.
Warm, Calm & Private Setting
The newly opened Santa Monica-UCLA Women's Imaging Center caters to the unique needs of women with a strict women-only policy during the daytime. Throughout their treatment, women are cared for in a relaxing, spa-like setting - warm, soothing and private.
The Iris Cantor Center for Breast Imaging at UCLA, located on the UCLA campus in Westwood, is renowned for its groundbreatking contributions to breast imaging. UCLA was the first mammography center in Los Angeles, the first to offer breast ultrasound, the first accredited by the Mammography Accreditation Program and the first totally digital mammography facility in California. And today it remains a leader in breast MRI.
