“There are only a handful of places in the world where some of the complex cases we see could even be considered. That we could do it here, in Austin, is a testament to what academic medicine makes possible.” — Dr. Charles Fraser Jr., chief of pediatric and congenital heart surgery for the Texas Center for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Disease

Dell Children's Medical Center — home to the heart center, a clinical partnership with UT Health Austin — was ranked No. 10 in the nation for pediatric cardiology and heart surgery in the 2025-26 U.S. News & World Report Best Children’s Hospitals rankings.

By recruiting national leaders across surgery, cardiology, anesthesiology, and intensive care, the center is delivering complex heart care that was previously unavailable in Austin — ensuring families no longer must leave Central Texas to access top-tier treatment.

Almost half of women over 40 have dense breast tissue, which can make breast cancer harder to detect on a mammogram. But a 3D mammogram can help.

3D mammography uses X-rays to create a detailed, three-dimensional image of the breast. This technology provides radiologists with clearer views, helping them detect suspicious areas or signs of cancer earlier. It’s especially beneficial for women with dense breast tissue, as the multiple imaging angles offer greater accuracy and detail.
