Frequently Asked Questions

What are the breast cancer warning signs?

Breast cancer warning signs can include a lump or thickening in the breast or underarm, changes in breast size or shape, dimpling or puckering of the skin, nipple discharge, or inversion and redness or scaling of the breast skin or nipple. If you notice any of these symptoms, it is important to consult a health care professional promptly and schedule a screening mammogram for early cancer detection. 

How does advanced 3D technology help detect breast cancer?

Advanced 3D imaging technology, also known as tomosynthesis, helps our technologists detect breast cancer by creating a three-dimensional image of the breast. This 3D mammography radiology technique provides a clearer and more detailed view of the breast tissue, allowing for better detection of small tumors and abnormalities, particularly in dense breast tissue. 3D mammograms lead to earlier breast cancer diagnosis and improved treatment outcomes.

Should I get checked for breast cancer?

Women aged 40 and older should start getting annual mammograms, although those with higher risk factors, such as a family history of breast cancer or genetic predisposition, may need to begin screening earlier. It's important to consult with your health care provider to determine the best screening schedule for you based on your individual wellness, risk assessment and health history. Regular self-exams and awareness of breast cancer symptoms are also recommended for both men's and women’s health.

In most cases, you do not need a referral for a screening mammogram. However, it is always a good idea to confirm any specific requirements with your insurance provider and ensure your medical records are up to date.
