Mammograms are low dose X-rays of the breast which help your doctor check for early signs of breast cancer. Mammography can show breast tissue changes up to two years before you or your doctor can feel them.

Current guidelines from the American Medical Association and the American College of Radiology recommend that beginning at age 40, women receive annual mammograms. Most screening mammograms can be completed in 30 minutes.

The importance of breast self-examination:

Current ACS recommendations are that BSE be performed monthly beginning at age 20. For the most current guidelines on proper breast self examination, click on the link below which will take you to the American Cancer Society's BSE page:

X-ray is a form of electromagnetic radiation used to produce
images of bones and internal organs.
Ultrasound uses high-frequency waves and a computer
to view images of blood vessels, tissues, and organs,
as well as to observe fetal development.
Our NEW Dynacad technology aids radiologists in the detection
of breast lesions, and determines if these lesions are benign
or suspicious and would warrant biopsy.
Mammography is a screening and diagnostic
technique that uses low-dose X-rays to
find abnormalities in the breast.
MRI is used to view internal structures using combinations of
radio waves and magnetic fields. This procedure is safe and
does not use radiation.
