What is Breast Imaging?
Breast imaging is a subspecialty of diagnostic radiology. It involves a range of imaging procedures to evaluate breast health.
Screening mammography is used to detect breast cancer via a low-dose X-ray before any symptoms are evident. This allows for early treatment and intervention.
How Imaging is Done
You will stand in front of a special X-ray machine. A technologist places your breast between two plastic plates which press firmly to capture clear images.
Early Detection
Detecting cancer at an early stage significantly improves treatment outcomes and survival rates. Mammograms help find changes before symptoms begin.
Specialist Review
All breast imaging scans are reviewed by radiologists specialized in breast health to ensure the highest level of accuracy and diagnosis.
Safe & Painless
Mammograms use minimal radiation and are quick, safe, and typically painless. They’re a routine part of preventive care for women over 40.
