If you are 40 or older, or considered to be at high risk, the American Cancer Society recommends a screening mammogram each year. So, if it’s time for yours, please don’t wait.
3D mammography (tomosynthesis) is a digital mammography option for some patients, particularly those with dense breasts, that allows physicians to examine breast tissue layer by layer. Instead of viewing all the complexities of breast tissue in a flat image, as with traditional 2D mammography, fine details are more visible and no longer hidden by the tissue above or below. This improvement in visualization often increases invasive cancer detection rates and reduces callback rates, thus reducing patient anxiety when called to return for additional imaging. Consult your physician to know if 3D mammography is the best option for you.

Appointments are on a first-come, first-served basis. An order from a physician or qualified healthcare provider is required. If the patient does not have a physician/provider and would like help finding one, the hospital may be able to provide assistance. All mammogram reports will be sent to the physician/provider selected by the patient, and the patient is responsible for follow-up. *Check with your insurance provider to confirm coverage for a screening mammogram.
