Annual screening mammograms are recommended for women who are 40 years or older, or for younger women with specific risk factors for breast cancer
And at Lawrence County Memorial Hospital, you can get your screening done close to home
3D Mammography is a specialized medical imaging technique that uses low-dose x-rays to see breast tissue. 3D mammography captures layered images of the breast at different angles to create a clear 3D reconstruction of the breast.
This technique allows physicians to see images of the breast in layers, improving visibility and detection of breast tumors. It also reduces the frequency of “false positives” and the need for additional testing.
You don’t have to have any signs or symptoms of a breast abnormality in order to receive a screening; they are used for the early detection of breast cancer and other breast health issues.
