Digital Mammograms for Early Detection

The earlier breast cancer is detected, the better the odds for survival. And, the more precise the technology, the better your chances are of receiving life-saving treatment.

At St. Elizabeth Healthcare, all of our Northern Kentucky locations, including our Mobile Mammography Unit, offer digital mammograms — the best method for detecting breast cancer. If an abnormality is detected, our team of experts acts quickly to develop a treatment plan to meet your needs.

Our Mammography Services

We offer the latest imaging technology delivered by a highly trained, compassionate breast care team.

Screening Mammogram

A screening mammogram is a routine exam that looks for changes in your breast from your previous mammogram. The goal is to find cancer in the earliest, most treatable stages. You don’t need a doctor’s referral, and you usually get your results in a few days.

Diagnostic Mammogram

If your screening mammogram identifies an abnormal area of breast tissue, your doctor will recommend a diagnostic mammogram to take a closer look.

Your doctor may also use a diagnostic mammogram if you have a lump in your breast or symptoms such as thickening, nipple discharge or pain. A diagnostic mammogram requires a doctor’s referral. Results are available at the time of your exam.

3-D Mammogram

At St. Elizabeth Healthcare, we also offer 3-D mammography — also known as tomosynthesis — a type of digital mammography. This technology uses X-rays and computer software, similar to a CT scan, to create a 3-D picture of your breast.

Your doctor may recommend digital tomosynthesis if you have dense breast tissue or you’re at a greater risk of developing breast cancer due to your family history. This exam may not be covered by insurance, so check with your insurance provider about your coverage.
