Our Mammogram Services team at MSH is dedicated to making your experience as comfortable and convenient as possible.

We offer cutting-edge digital mammography with our Hologic 3Dimensions system. In the hands of our experienced technicians, the system provides higher quality 3D images for radiologists, a more comfortable mammography experience for patients and enhanced workflow for technologists.

According to the National Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of Health website, a large National Cancer Institute-sponsored clinical trial shows that digital mammography appears to be more accurate than conventional film mammography in women with dense breasts. The Hologic 3Dimensions system is more accurate than conventional 2D mammograms, detecting 20% to 65% more invasive breast cancers.

Healthcare organizations recommend that women with an average risk for breast cancer begin to have yearly mammograms at age 40 to 45. This can provide early detection of breast cancer, which means that treatment can begin earlier in the course of the disease before it is able to spread. We encourage women to talk to their providers about their risk factors and when/if they need to begin regular mammograms.
