                      Mammography


                      Early detection is the key to successful cancer treatment. How many times have you heard that? We hope you've heard it enough that you follow your age-specific guidelines for regular exams and mammograms.

                      Breast care includes screenings, 3D and 2D digital mammography, ultrasound and biopsies (ultrasound-guided core biopsy or stereotactic breast biopsy and MRI). It is our pledge that you will be treated with warmth and respect (including honoring appointment times) by the entire team. The Dupont Difference is evident when you enter The Dupont Hospital Center for Breast Health.

                      Schedule your breast care screening today!

                      The Dupont Difference & Mammography

                      For your convenience, you do not need a doctor's order for a screening mammogram. You should check with your insurance to determine coverage. Appointments are suggested, but we also try to accommodate walk-ins (no promises, though). If you are under a physician's care for any ongoing medical condition related to breast health, we do require a referral from your physician.

                      Not only do we have a compassionate, experienced mammography staff, but we've also pursued technology that assists us in reviewing mammograms. One of these tools is called an image checker. We like to think of it as a spell-check program for mammograms. After a board-certified radiologist has reviewed your mammogram, we let the system look at it. The system can detect variations in the black, gray and white that the human eye may not be able to perceive. If the system finds something unexpected, we'll work with you and your physician to determine exactly what the system saw.

                      We're proud to add digital mammography to the available services, providing exceptional detail, improving accuracy of diagnosis and resulting in shorter exam times.

                      Tomosynthesis (3D Mammography)

                      Call (833) 546-4968 then select option 2 to schedule your 3D mammogram at the Dupont Hospital Center for Breast Health.

                      The best defense against breast cancer is early detection. Until recently, the best way to detect breast cancer in its earliest stage was with digital mammography, which provides a two-dimensional image of the breast. Although 2D mammography is still highly reliable, a new technology now exists that makes discovering breast cancer easier.

                      Performed in conjunction with 2D mammography, breast tomosynthesis, or 3D mammography, is a revolutionary new screening and diagnostic tool designed to detect breast cancer in its earliest stages. Breast tomosynthesis builds a 3D mammogram by converting digital breast images into a stack of extremely thin slices.

                      Conventional digital mammography produces flat images that often resemble a smoky haze with overlapping tissue, making it difficult for radiologists to distinguish between normal and suspicious tissue and identify early subtle signs of cancer. Breast tomosynthesis allows radiologists to see breast tissue as never before - one millimeter at a time.

                      FDA-approved tomosynthesis produces 3D images of the breast by using multiple low-dose X-rays. The breast is positioned and compressed in the same way as during a regular mammogram, but the X-ray arm moves in a circular arc around the breast to obtain multiple images from different angles in about 10 seconds. A computer then produces 3D images of the breast tissue in one millimeter slices. This technology allows radiologists to scroll through the images as if they are flipping the pages of a book.

                      Benefits of tomosynthesis include:

                      • Improved breast cancer detection rates for invasive cancers
                      • Earlier detection of small breast cancers that may be hidden during digital mammography
                      • Greater accuracy in pinpointing size, shape and location of abnormalities
                      • Fewer unnecessary biopsies and additional tests
                      • Greater likelihood of detecting multiple breast tumors, which occur in 15 percent of breast cancer patients
                      • Clearer images of dense breast tissue
                      • Decrease in callbacks for follow-up mammograms

                      3D mammography is approved for all women who need standard mammograms in both the screening and diagnostic settings.

                      Tomosynthesis finds 40 percent more invasive cancers missed with conventional 2D mammography and reduces the need for a follow-up mammogram by up to 40 percent

                      The breast health navigator (clinical specialist) is here to help answer any breast care questions you may have before, during and after treatment. Call (260) 416-3091 to speak with the breast health navigator. Click here for more information.

                      For a list of risk factors and American Cancer Society recommendations, visit www.Cancer.org. Appointments are on a first-come, first-served basis. An order from a physician or qualified healthcare provider is not required, but the patient must provide a physician/provider name when an appointment is made. If the patient does not have a physician/provider, a list will be provided for selection. All mammogram reports will be sent to the physician/provider, and the patient is responsible for follow-up. *Check with your insurance provider to confirm coverage for a screening mammogram.
