Breast Cancer Screening Recommendations
-
Women age 40 and older should have an annual screening mammogram.
-
Screening mammograms should continue as long as in good health.
-
Monthly breast self exam and annual clinical breast exam are beneficial to early detection.
Tomosyntheis (3D) is used in digital mammography in order to screen the breast for cancer.
-
3D mammography helps alleviate the possibility of abnormalities being obscured by breast tissue that is dense.
-
This allows for more accuracy along with greater confidence in diagnosis.
-
O'Sullivan Radiology has upgraded to the top of the line Siemens MAMMOMAT Revelation as of March 2019.
-
This state of the art technology produces high resolution images, which include images of each breast across a 50 degree wide angle.
-
This increases depth resolution and tissue layer separation.
