Mammogram Centers Near Me

<p>A digital 3D screening mammogram is a low-dose x-ray of each breast. This technology captures multiple images from various angles of the breast to provide a more detailed view of the underlying breast tissue. Because screenings can detect small, subtle abnormalities before they can be felt on an exam, the American Cancer Society recommends women 40 years of age or older to perform regular annual or biennial mammograms to look for the earliest signs of breast cancer.</p>
<p>Screening mammography is considered preventive and is usually covered by most health insurance plans. Mammogram abnormalities may present as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Distortion</li>
<li>Masses</li>
<li>Small white spots called cluster microcalcifications.</li>
</ul>
<p>Abnormalities may be hard to visualize without advanced radiology imaging and interpretation. Obtaining the clearest images of the breast with 3D mammograms provides the best opportunity for early detection.</p>

The Importance of Routine Mammogram Screenings

At The Women’s Imaging Center, you will have full support from a dedicated Care Team. Your Care Team consists of a mammography technologist, a specialized radiologist, a medical assistant, and a patient navigator. If an abnormality is discovered by screening or medical diagnostic imaging, the experience behind your Care Team allows you to rest assured that you are in the most capable hands.

If a minimally invasive biopsy is needed, results are typically available as soon as the next day. Our free-standing Centers throughout Denver Metro areas ensure that the best Care Team will be assembled if an abnormal or suspicious imaging finding requires further consultation or treatment from other specialists, such as surgeons or oncologists.

Your Dedicated Care Team

The technologist will position each breast onto a rectangular curved paddle and then apply gentle pressure. The amount of pressure needed for the correct exposure is based on the thickness and density of the breast.

Before the Screening

We want to keep the breast in the same position, to avoid motion that may cause blurriness of the image. The mammography technologist will ask you to hold your breath for a few seconds while she obtains the exposure. Typically, two views of each breast are obtained. You will be repositioned four times (once for each view of each breast). If you have breast implants, four views will be obtained for each breast, for a total of eight images.

During the Screening

If you have prior mammograms elsewhere, they may be requested for the radiologist to compare before an opinion is rendered. You should receive a result letter in the mail within a week if no previous mammogram comparison is needed. Please check your address carefully on your intake form, as the letter will be sent to that address. A report will also be faxed to the ordering clinician you list on your intake form.
