Breast cancer screening

All women should be familiar with how their breasts normally look and feel and report any breast changes to a healthcare provider right away.

Schedule your mammogram today

Some women – because of their family history, a genetic tendency or certain other factors – should be screened with MRIs along with mammograms. (The number of women who fall into this category is very small.) Talk with your healthcare provider about your risk for breast cancer and the best screening plan for you.

Women 40–44 should have the choice to start annual breast cancer screening with mammograms if they wish to do so.
Women 45–54 should get mammograms every year.
Women 55 and older can switch to mammograms every two years or continue yearly screening.
Screening should continue as long as a woman is healthy and expected to live 10 more years or longer.

What you need to know about 3-D mammography

You may have heard of 3-D mammography, but are unsure how it’s different than standard 2-D mammography. More importantly, you may be unsure if 3-D mammography is right for you. Here are five things you should know about 3-D mammography:

Does a 3-D mammogram feel any different?

How do I know if I have dense breasts?

After your annual screening mammogram (using either 2-D or 3-D technology), your imaging provider will notify you by letter if you have dense breasts. At Prisma Health, we encourage patients who have dense breasts to talk with their physicians so they can make an informed decision about the need for 3-D mammography at their next annual screening mammogram.

What is 3-D mammography?

What is the advantage of 3-D mammography?

Research shows that for women with dense breast tissue or strong risk factors for developing breast cancer, 3-D mammography provides improved visualization and the following patient benefits compared to 2-D mammography:

Detects 41 percent more invasive breast cancers.
Detects cancers 15 months earlier.
Reduces false positive readings by up to 40 percent.

Does insurance cover 3-D mammography?
