Mammography
Women who undergo routine mammograms here have the latest diagnostic technology available to them — digital mammography. Digital mammography feels identical to conventional screening from a patient's perspective, though women may notice shorter exam times and a reduction in call-backs to obtain additional images.
Most breast lumps are not cancerous; however, after skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women in the United States. Breast cancer can occur in both men and women, but it’s far more common in women. A yearly mammogram is recommended for women age 40 and older to aid in the early detection of breast cancer.
In addition to the most up-to-date technology, we also pleased to offer:
- Free risk assessments
- Same-day screening appointments
- Same-day results for patients experiencing symptoms, such as lumps, nipple discharge, breast pain or skin thickening
- A comforting atmosphere
- A private area to discuss test results
