Dr. Natalie G. Chan, a board-certified radiologist who is fellowship trained in breast imaging, has joined Radiologic Associates of Fredericksburg (RAF). Dr. Chan is practicing at the Imaging Center for Women in Fredericksburg.

A breast imaging physician specialist, Dr. Chan interprets the images of mammograms, breast ultrasounds and breast magnetic resonance imaging tests for signs of breast cancer, and she also performs breast biopsy studies. She provides patients with compassionate and advanced care and follow-up.

“Breast imaging is an area of radiology that brings a lot of patient interaction, and I value that so much,” Dr. Chan said. “I appreciate the opportunity to give patients the best guidance and care that I can offer in preventing, detecting and treating breast cancer.”

Dr. Chan said she was drawn to working at the Imaging Center for Women because of its dedicated staff and breadth of services. The center is the only program in the area to receive the Breast Imaging Center of Excellence designation by the American College of Radiology, the highest level of recognition a women’s imaging facility can receive.  It is also the only facility in Fredericksburg offering same-day mammogram results and same-day needle biopsies, upon request.
