What is a mammogram screening?

A mammogram screening refers to a test used to detect breast cancer before there are any symptoms. Detecting breast cancer early, when it is smaller and still confined to the breast, offers the best chance of a cure. 

Following the American College of Radiology (ACR) guidelines for screening mammography can help improve the chances that breast cancer can be found early and treated successfully: 

• Annual mammograms for women age 40 and older 
• No upper age limit as long as in good health 

Committed to Early Detection with 3D Mammography

The Breast Care Center at Sharon Regional offers 3D mammography to our patients. This advanced level breast imaging was approved by the FDA in February 2011, after it concluded that the addition of 3D technology to traditional mammography provided significant improvement in clinical performance over traditional digital mammography alone.  

3D mammography uses a high-powered computer to convert digital images into a stack of very thin layers or slices. This allows the radiologist to examine the breast tissue in 1 mm increments, so that fine details are no longer hidden by dense breast tissue in front of or behind. The exam is very similar to a traditional mammogram for the patient. The technologist positions the breast and compresses it under a paddle. An X-ray arm sweeps in a slight arc over the breast, taking multiple images. Imaging takes only a few seconds longer than a traditional mammogram. 

3D Mammography is most helpful for the following: 

• Women with dense breast tissue 
• Women at high risk for breast cancer
  • Genetic/BRCA1 and BRCA2 
• Strong family history 
• Previous radiation therapy to chest 

Talk to Your Doctor About Your Risk

Women who are at an increased risk for breast cancer should ask their doctors to help them determine the best screening schedule, which takes into consideration: 

• A personal or family history of breast cancer 
• A genetic mutation (such as BRCA) known to increase risk 
• Women who have had radiation therapy to the chest before the age of 30
