Our state-of-the-art 3D mammography services are designed not just to detect breast cancer early but to offer peace of mind that you are receiving the best possible care.

    Wear Comfortable Clothing

    You will need to undress from the waist up, so wear a two-piece outfit to make changing easier.

    Avoid Deodorants and Powders

    These can show up on the mammogram and mimic signs of breast cancer.

    Bring Previous Mammogram Images

    If you’ve had mammograms at other facilities, bring them along to help our radiologists compare past and present images.

During Your Visit: Your Mammogram Journey

Upon arrival, our team will welcome you and guide you through the registration process. Here's what you can expect next:

Pre-Scan Consultation

A technician will explain the procedure and answer any questions you might have.

The Mammogram

Using our cutting-edge 3D screening technology, the technician will take several images of each breast. For some patients, we may use a contrast agent, which requires a doctor’s order, to enhance the visibility of the images, ensuring nothing is missed. A screening without contrast does not require a doctor’s order.

Comfort and Care

Our machines are designed with your comfort in mind, and our technicians are trained to make the process as smooth as possible.

After Your Visit: What Comes Next

Receiving Your Results

Your mammogram images will be reviewed by our expert radiologists, with an artificial intelligence software that adds a layer of confidence, improving accuracy. Results are typically available within a few business days.

Follow-Up

If further evaluation is needed, we'll schedule additional imaging or procedures promptly and keep you informed every step of the way.
