Early detection is crucial in the fight against breast cancer, and annual screening mammograms are one of the most effective tools we have. At North Oaks Health System, we offer advanced 3D mammography to help detect breast cancer at its earliest and most treatable stage.
Why Get a Mammogram? Routine mammograms can save lives by identifying breast cancer before symptoms appear. North Oaks is proud to offer 3D mammography (digital breast tomosynthesis), which provides:
- More accurate results
- Faster diagnoses
- Improved cancer detection
- Fewer unnecessary callbacks and false positives
- Comfort-focused design for a better patient experience
“Our high-performance 3D mammography unit uses advanced cancer detection technology combined with Artificial Intelligence (AI), designed for comfort and convenience,” says Regina Scott, Vice President of Diagnostics.
Who Should Get a Mammogram? We recommend annual screening mammograms for women aged 40 and above. If you’re due for your yearly mammogram, don’t wait—early detection can make all the difference.
