3D Screening Mammography for Women’s Health
Our in-office 3D Mammography suite is another step in offering our patients the most advanced healthcare available to women. We take great pride in providing unsurpassed expertise, compassionate medical professionals and staff, unrivaled technology, and a commitment to consistently delivering exceptional care to every patient. As a breast cancer survivor, I can’t stress enough the importance of annual mammograms; mine caught my cancer at stage 0 (almost unheard of), and I’m cancer-free.
The Benefits of In-Office Digital Mammography
These benefits are the cornerstone of our in-office 3D mammography suite – allowing every patient the ability to have your mammogram performed at the same time and location as your annual exam or any other provider appointment. Our in-office 3D mammography service allows you to have your annual screening mammogram as part of your annual Well Woman exam or at any other appointment. This allows the convenience of one location, with results that go directly to your provider. Our mammography suite offers comfort, discretion, and modesty. We work with one patient at a time, offering a private experience catered to your needs.
Clinical Expertise and Advanced Technology
Our mammography suite offers the most innovative 3D mammography equipment and peripherals available today, manufactured by global leaders in women’s health technology. Onsite Women’s Health enhances women’s healthcare through partnerships with providers nationwide, offering personalized mammography services with clinical expertise, innovative technology, and proprietary protocols. It provides high-quality 3-D images reviewed by radiologists who specialize in reading mammogram results. The service also provides risk assessments to patients who may have a higher risk of breast cancer due to family history, genetics, etc.
We employ only the most experienced breast imaging technologists, who are registered, certified, and continually advancing their medical education. They are knowledgeable, gentle, and guide every patient through the entire exam. We work with credentialed breast care specialists who interpret all the mammograms performed in our suite. They meet our high standards in education and experience for breast health imaging and interpretation.
Screening Guidelines and Insurance
Major healthcare organizations like the American College of Radiology, American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Susan G. Komen for the Cure advise that every woman over age 40 have an annual screening mammogram. Screening may start earlier for high-risk patients. Almost all insurance plans cover 3D mammograms as part of your annual preventative healthcare benefits. However, insurance plans vary, so we recommend patients verify their specific insurance plan for benefits, eligibility, and coverage.
Coordination of Care
Your provider is involved in your entire breast health journey – with your exam being provided in the same location where your medical records, reports, and images are maintained and managed. As long as your prior exam results are available, your new exam results are most often available to you and your provider within 48 hours. If follow-up is required from a screening mammogram, your provider is informed and will monitor your progress through any additional steps needed.
