Digital Mammography

Hattiesburg Clinic’s Breast Center of Excellence offers specialized imaging to screen for breast cancer, including mammography and 3D mammograms.

Digital Mammography Overview

Digital mammography is a screening process used to detect breast abnormalities, such as a lump, pain or discharge. Mammograms, an X-ray examination of the breasts, are also recommended for women who have no present breast conditions. Images are stored and retrieved electronically, eliminating the time needed for the development of film. Digital mammograms give a much clearer, sharper image that can easily be enhanced. This screening technique provides less of a wait time for our patients.

Hattiesburg Clinic uses the latest state-of-the-art imaging and technology to identify cancer sooner and treat it faster. Regular mammogram screenings can save lives, so talk with your health care provider to schedule your mammogram today.

3D Mammography

It is our commitment to each patient to provide the latest, most comprehensive technology for breast health. For that reason, we are pleased to offer the latest technology of 3D mammography to all of our patients.

Also known as breast tomosynthesis, a 3D mammogram consists of multiple breast images taken in seconds to produce a 3D image. The doctor looks through the tissue one millimeter at a time seeing detail inside the breast.

Benefits of Digital Mammography

Images provide more detail and better clarity.
Digital images can be easily manipulated.
Technologists have the ability to see immediately if the captured image is satisfactory.
The need to take multiple exposures is reduced.
Images can quickly and easily be sent to another location.

What age should a woman get a mammogram?

The American Cancer Society recommends women over the age of 40 have a routine mammogram once a year. Mammograms can detect abnormalities in the breast even before they can be felt by a clinical breast exam, enabling doctors to catch diseases at their earliest stages and reduce mortality rates by 30 percent.

If you are over the age of 40 or have other breast cancer concerns, talk with your primary care provider to schedule your mammogram screening.
