When it comes to annual screening for breast cancer, choose the expert care, quality service, and advanced technology at Radiology Regional Women’s Imaging Centers.

Early detection is the best defense against breast cancer – there is a 98% survival rate when found at an early stage. 3D mammography has been shown in clinical studies to be more accurate than conventional mammography alone. In fact, 3D mammography increases breast cancer detection by 38%.

Using advanced 3D mammography, our radiologists can view breast tissue layer by layer, helping to see the fine details more clearly and minimizing overlapping tissue. During a 3D mammogram, multiple low-dose images known as “slices” of the breast are acquired at different angles.

Because 3D mammography helps distinguish harmless abnormalities from real cancers, it leads to fewer callbacks, or additional images, and less anxiety for women.

Prior to your appointment

• Try to schedule your annual screening mammogram for the week after your period when your breasts are less tender and less stimulated by hormones.
• When scheduling your appointment, you will be asked a series of questions to help our team determine the best approach for you.
• If you have had prior mammograms at other facilities – even if they were years ago in another state – please let your scheduler know. We will obtain these studies so that our physicians can compare them with your new images.
• If possible, wear a comfortable two-piece outfit. We will provide you with a gown from the waist up.
• Please do not use underarm deodorant, talcum powder or cream. These may interfere with test results.
