X-Ray Associates at Santa Fe provides comprehensive, patient-centered breast imaging and diagnostic services with a focus on early detection, timely results, and compassionate care.

3D Mammogram is also referred to as tomosynthesis. This type of mammogram is the fastest, most accurate, highest resolution and most comfortable breast cancer diagnostic available in the state.

The mammogram is the primary and most effective screening tool to detect the presence of breast cancer. It’s a routine examination which captures two images of each breast and is administered to all women beginning at age 40.

All women are recommended to undergo a yearly screening mammogram beginning at age 40 as an early detection measure. Remember, regular screenings and awareness are key – early detection saves lives!

Reducing Missed Cancers and Unnecessary Callbacks

Mammography has played a significant role in women’s health, reducing the mortality rate from breast cancer by as much as 50 percent. By removing the confusion of superimposed tissue, tomosynthesis affects the two primary goals of mammography: finding cancers as soon as possible and reducing unnecessary callbacks.
