Types of Breast Cancer Screening

Mammography plays a vital role in early breast cancer detection because it can show signs of cancer that are too small or subtle to feel.

The 3-D mammography technology at Renown Breast Health Center can detect 41% more cancers and reduces the number of false-positive results compared to other mammography.

Benefits of 3-D mammography:

Better, clearer images
It allows radiologists to see more abnormalities in the breast
It helps doctors spot more cancers and avoid false positives, especially if you have dense breast tissue

The digital images can also be lightened, darkened and enlarged in real time, giving radiologists a better look at suspicious areas.

A whole breast ultrasound, also known as a sonogram, is a non-invasive procedure that uses sound waves (not radiation) to create images of the entire breast. It can be used as a screening tool or as a follow-up test after an abnormal finding on another imaging test. The exam only takes about 20 minutes.

We recommend these exams if your mammograms show dense breast tissue. Dense breast tissue and cancer both look white on a mammogram.

If your mammogram shows you have dense breasts (less fatty, more connective tissue), you may want to consider a whole breast ultrasound in addition to your mammogram.

Check with your insurance company to determine if whole breast ultrasounds are covered.

The BRCA gene test with the Healthy NV Project, is a blood test that determines if you have changes (mutations) in your DNA that increase the risk of breast cancer.
