What is a mammogram?
A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast used to screen for and detect breast cancer. Our Women’s Health Imaging services use advanced 3D mammography to give clearer, more detailed images.
We offer care in a private, comfortable and modern setting.
Why choose 3D mammography?
3D mammography (also called breast tomosynthesis) creates layered images of the breast, which helps us see more clearly.
- Better image quality
- Earlier detection
- Fewer false positives
