Mammography

A mammogram is a specific type of breast imaging that uses low-dose x-rays to detect cancer early and when it is most treatable. At Imaging for Women, Tomographic, or 3D mammograms are the standard of care for all of our patients. A 3D mammogram takes a series of images through the breast tissue and allows the radiologist to detect smaller cancers that may be difficult to visualize in a standard mammogram. At Imaging for Women, our state-of-the-art mammography unit allows you to control your own compression, creating a gentler, often pain-free, mammogram experience.
Screening Mammograms are recommended annually for all women beginning at age 40. Additional screenings, such as whole breast ultrasound or breast MRI, may be recommended for high-risk patients. Diagnostic Mammograms are also performed at Imaging for Women for symptomatic patients or for abnormalities seen on a screening exam. Diagnostic mammograms must be ordered by your health care provider. Complete evaluation, recommendations, and results are discussed with you by our radiologists or their assistants before you leave the office. The exam report is issued to your referring health care provider typically within one hour of your exam.
It is best to schedule your mammogram when you are not on your menstrual cycle, when the breast tissue is less sensitive. Please do not wear deodorant or talcum powder under your arms or on your breasts on the day of the exam as this can look similar to abnormal calcium deposits on the mammogram. Breast compression is necessary during imaging in order to evenly distribute the breast so that all of the tissue can be visualized and adequately evaluated for abnormalities, and minimize the radiation exposure. However, Imaging for Women is the first facility in the Midwest to implement patient-assisted compression. This cutting-edge technology allows you to help control your own exam for a more comfortable experience. Please remember to describe any breast symptoms, such as new palpable lumps or persistent breast pain, to our scheduler and/or technologist before your exam.

Ultrasounds

Ultrasound uses sound waves to view structures within the body in real time. Complete evaluation, recommendations, and results are discussed with you by our radiologists before you leave the office. The report of your exam is issued to your healthcare provider typically within one hour of your exam.

bone density

A bone density scan, or DEXA scan, is a simple, non- invasive and painless exam used to measure bone mass in areas such as your spine, hip, and wrist and is used to detect osteoporosis.

biopsies

The results of the biopsy may take up to a week. A consultation appointment is scheduled one week after your biopsy exam in order to have time with the radiologist to review all results in detail and address questions and concerns with you.
