Breast Disease Screening

Breast cancer is a frightening possibility for many women. Fortunately, we have a powerful tool for early detection—and with early detection there are more treatment options and a better opportunity for a real cure. That tool is mammography, or breast imaging.

Mammography uses low-dose x-rays to examine the breast for early-stage cancers that are undetectable by any other method. Further, it is the only proven method for detecting carcinoma in the milk ducts. Mammography is also used to diagnose breast disease in women who are experiencing symptoms such as a lump or pain in the breast. In recent years, mammography has led to approximately 30% fewer breast cancer deaths.
