Elastography
This advanced imaging method couples the imaging of an MRI with sound waves to provide doctors a visual map – or elastogram – of the stiffness in body tissues.
MR Perfusion
MR perfusion is an imaging procedure that helps to distinguish treatment-related changes from recurrent brain tumors.
MR Spectroscopy
MR spectroscopy is an imaging procedure that helps distinguish brain tumors from other diseases such as abscess, stroke and multiple sclerosis, and also helps the neurosurgeon select the most appropriate place to biopsy certain brain tumors.
MRI
Our specialists often use advanced MRI technology to obtain visual detail of organs and tissues to help detect many conditions.
MRI Fusion Prostate Biopsy
An MRI fusion biopsy can help a urologist determine where the cancer is in the prostate. Jefferson’s radiologists can locate suspected tumors in the prostate with greater accuracy and few samples.
Maintenance of Wakefulness Test
A maintenance of wakefulness test isolates you from outside factors that can influence your ability to fall asleep, such as temperature and noise.
Mammogram
The Jefferson Breast Care Center team provides screening and diagnostic mammograms using an all-digital approach to enables radiologists with specialized expertise in breast imaging to more clearly see abnormalities in the mammogram.
Mastectomy
Our team of oncologists, surgeons, pathologists and other breast cancer specialists will work with you and your family to determine if mastectomy is the best treatment for you or if you would benefit from a breast-sparing procedure such as lumpectomy.
Maxillomandibular Advancement
Maxillomandibular advancement is a surgical procedure in which your upper jaw (maxilla) and lower jaw (mandible) are moved forward to correct a facial deformity or sleep disorder such as sleep apnea.
Maxillomandibular Fixation
Also described as "wiring the jaw shut," this procedure temporarily connects your upper and lower jaw by wires, elastic bands or metal splints so that your lower jaw can heal.
Mediastinoscopy
During a mediastinoscopy, a thoracic surgeon will insert an endoscope through a small incision at the top of your chest to diagnose and stage lung cancer.
Microdermabrasion
If your skin looks dull or unhealthy, microdermabrasion may be an effective treatment to remove the dead layers to expose healthier skin and promote new growth.
Microlaryngoscopy
This is used in the diagnosis and removal of various lesions of the vocal folds to restore a normal voice.
Microsurgery
Today, through microsurgery, our surgeons are able to repair the smallest of blood vessels, transfer tissue from one part of the body to another and reattach severed parts.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Minimally invasive procedures – from laparoscopic or "keyhole" to endoscopic or robotic surgeries – offer some important advantages over traditional "open" surgeries.
Mitraclip
Mitraclip uses a catheter-based delivery system to repair the leakiness of the mitral valve for patients at risk for open heart surgery.
Mohs Micrographic Surgery
Mohs micrographic surgery is one of the most advanced methods used to remove cancerous skin and minimizes damage to surrounding healthy tissue and the risk of leaving cancerous tissue behind.
Multiple Sleep Latency Testing
Daytime multiple sleep latency testing may be used to diagnosis narcolepsy, a condition where you fall asleep frequently during the day.
Myelogram
A myelogram, also known as myelography, is performed to assess the spinal cord, subarachnoid space or other structures for abnormalities, particularly when another type of examination, such as a standard X-ray, is inconclusive.
Myomectomy
If you have been diagnosed with fibroid tumors, a myomectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the tumors while leaving the uterus intact, thus preserving your ability to become pregnant.
