Located at the Silverdale campus of Harrison Medical Center, the Women’s Diagnostic Center in the Harlow Medical Building prides itself in state-of-the-art women’s imaging services. Patient comfort is a priority, and it’s recognized as soon as a patient walks through the doors. From our lovely waiting area, to the beautiful Olympic Mountain view, to the soft music, to our well-trained, caring staff, AMI offers a great choice in women’s medical imaging - all in one central location. Direct digital screening and diagnostic mammography, computer-aided detection on all mammograms, ultrasound-guided and stereotactic core biopsies and DEXA bone scans are the services provided here. Breast MRI is also available at AMI and is done at the Bremerton MRI location behind Harrison Medical Center.
All of our technologists develop a trusting relationship with their patients. They are well-trained, supportive and care about each patient they have the opportunity to serve.
Great News for Women!
We are proud to be the first practice in Kitsap County and surrounding communities to offer Direct digital Mammography for women. This is the latest technologic advance in breast cancer detection and there are many advantages:
- higher detection rate of breast cancer in women under 50 years of age
- higher detection rate in pre- and peri-menopausal women
- higher detection rate in women with dense breast tissue
- reduced radiation dose up to 40% over film mammography
- increased patient comfort senses breast thickness for more comfortable compression
- increased cancer detection with CAD-computer assisted diagnosis
- excellent image quality and ability to electronically manipulate images for more accurate diagnosis
- fewer callbacks for retakes
- largest detector allows imaging of almost all breast sizes
- no increased cost to patient

Breast MRI
Following the results of a study performed by the University of Washington and the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, the American Cancer Society recently recommended that women at high risk of breast cancer receive annual MRIs as well as mammograms. The study also suggests that all women newly diagnosed with breast cancer receive an MRI.
