Beyond Mammograms: Supporting Women’s Health at Every Stage

When we think about women’s health, mammograms often take center stage as a critical tool in the fight against breast cancer. However, women’s health encompasses so much more than regular mammograms. At Precision Imaging Centers, we’re dedicated to providing a comprehensive suite of imaging services that support women’s wellness throughout every stage of life. As an American College of Radiology Breast Center of Excellence, we are committed to excellence in care and diagnostics.

Let’s explore how mammograms and other advanced imaging technologies play a role in helping women live healthier, longer lives.

Why Mammograms Are a Cornerstone of Preventive Care

Mammograms remain the gold standard for early detection of breast cancer. By identifying abnormalities before symptoms appear, mammograms can dramatically improve treatment outcomes and save lives.

When Should Women Get Mammograms?

  • Women at average risk are recommended to start screening at age 40 and continue annually.
  • Those with a family history of breast cancer or other risk factors may need to begin earlier or undergo additional imaging, such as breast MRI or 3D mammography.

At Precision Imaging Centers, we offer 3D mammograms for enhanced accuracy by capturing detailed, three-dimensional images of breast tissue. This advanced technology reduces false positives and improves detection of smaller, early-stage cancers.

For women with elevated risk or dense breast tissue, we also provide breast MRI as an additional layer of precision and care.

Expanding Women’s Health Services Beyond Mammograms

While mammograms are essential, they are only part of the picture. Precision Imaging Centers supports women’s health through a variety of advanced imaging services, ensuring care at every stage of life.

Bone Density Scans for Osteoporosis

As women age, bone health becomes a growing concern. A DEXA scan (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) measures bone density, helping to detect osteoporosis early and prevent fractures.

Who Should Get a Bone Density Scan?

Women over 65 or those with risk factors such as a family history of osteoporosis, early menopause, or long-term use of corticosteroids.

Ultrasounds for Reproductive Health

Ultrasounds are non-invasive tools often used to monitor reproductive health. They can:

  • Assess uterine health for women experiencing irregular periods or pelvic pain.
  • Monitor pregnancy and ensure the health of both mother and baby.
  • Help diagnose conditions like fibroids, endometriosis, or ovarian cysts.

Heart Health Imaging

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among women in the U.S. Advanced imaging tools such as CT calcium scoring can assess heart health and detect risks like plaque buildup in the arteries, empowering women to make proactive lifestyle changes.

Full Body Imaging

For women seeking a proactive approach to their health, we also offer full body imaging to identify potential health concerns before symptoms arise. This comprehensive diagnostic tool supports early detection and informed decision-making.
