Mammography
At Pioneers Medical Center, our Mammography technologists are accredited through the American College of Radiology (ACR), meeting the national requirements to ensure the highest standards of care. The Radiologists who oversee the department also must meet the same stringent standards. Yearly continuing education is a requirement for maintaining their licenses.
PMC now offers 3D Mammograms. There are a couple significant benefits of 3D Mammography that improve the patient care and safety. The first is the clarity of the image is much improved and will allow for a better read of the images. And the patient will be exposed to about 50% less radiation.
There are a variety of services provided in this department.
- Detailed mammogram screenings. (Recommended for women annually beginning at the age of 40.)
- Diagnostic mammograms
Important reminders:
- Breast self-exams are important for women to perform monthly to help in finding any changes in your breast(s).
- Mammograms may help in finding anomalies up to 3 years before they can be felt.
- A small percentage of breast cancers are not visible on mammograms.
- 85% of breast biopsies are benign.
