Protect Your Health with Regular Mammograms

1 in 8 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Annual 3D mammograms can detect cancer earlier—often before it can be felt. At Renown Women's Health, our experts provide advanced screening with technology that detects more cancers and reduces false positives.

Mammogram FAQ

Not sure when to schedule your breast exam? These are the screening guidelines we follow:

  • Ages 18–39
    Consult your primary care provider for a formal risk assessment. Clinical breast exams may begin at age 25.
  • Age 40+
    Annual screening mammograms are recommended.
  • Age 75+
    Continue annual mammograms if life expectancy exceeds five to seven years.
  • Family History
    Begin screening 10 years before your relative’s diagnosis age. For example, start at 35 if a family member was diagnosed at 45.
  • Self-Awareness
    Know how your breasts normally look and feel, and report any changes to your provider.

The 3-D mammography technology at Renown Breast Health Center can detect 41% more cancers and reduces the number of false-positive results compared to other mammography.

Benefits of 3-D mammography:

  • Better, clearer images
  • It allows radiologists to see more abnormalities in the breast
  • It helps doctors spot more cancers and avoid false positives, especially if you have dense breast tissue
  • The digital images can also be lightened, darkened, and enlarged in real time, giving radiologists a better look at suspicious areas.

Although some women experience discomfort during a mammogram, most say it is not painful. Breast compression, which is important to get a clear image, can cause a sensation of pressure, but this lasts for a few seconds. Let your technician know how much pressure you can handle so you're not uncomfortable.
