Our compassionate team is dedicated to making your breast imaging experience comfortable, accurate, and reassuring.

Mammography is a specialized X-ray exam of the breast that helps identify abnormal changes, including lumps, calcifications, or tumors. With advanced 3D imaging, mammograms provide clearer, more detailed images compared to traditional methods, reducing the need for repeat exams and improving cancer detection rates.

• Screening Mammogram: A routine exam for women without symptoms, recommended annually beginning at age 40 (or earlier if you’re high-risk).
• Diagnostic Mammogram: A targeted exam used to evaluate specific breast symptoms, such as a lump, pain, or abnormal screening result.
• 3D Mammography (Tomosynthesis): A cutting-edge technique that takes multiple breast images from different angles, offering improved accuracy and earlier detection.
• Breast MRI (when needed): Used as a complementary exam for women at higher risk of breast cancer.

• Preparation: Avoid deodorant, lotion, or powders on the day of your exam, as these can affect image quality.
• During the Exam: A technologist will gently position your breast between two plates for compression while images are taken. Compression is necessary but brief and helps produce clear results.
• Time: The exam usually takes 20 minutes or less.
• After the Exam: You may resume normal activities immediately. Results are reviewed by a fellowship-trained breast radiologist and sent to your physician quickly.
