Mammography Guidelines

Breast cancer will likely touch you or someone you know in your lifetime. And since current research has determined that the key to breast cancer survival rests upon its earliest possible detection, the more you learn now, the better.

So don't wait ... schedule your mammogram today!

Women ages 35 and older should have a baseline reference mammogram.
Women age 40 and older should have a mammogram every year.
Women whose medical history may indicate special risks, should consult their physician about beginning periodic exams at an early age.

Why Digital Mammography?

Digital mammography provides a number of advantages over traditional screen film mammography.

Digital mammography provides sharper, more detailed images than screen film imaging.
Studies have shown that the use of digital mammography equipment results in a significant increase in the number of breast cancers detected in women 50 and younger, or women with dense breasts, than with traditional film imaging.
Quicker mammograms because there is no need to wait for film images to be developed.
Images can be viewed immediately by technologists and radiologists.
Images can be easily and quickly transferred electronically, with no loss of image quality.
Computers can help radiologists detect micro-calcifications that may be missed on traditional film mammograms.
