Importance
Early detection saves lives. Our screening mammogram services are designed to identify breast changes at their earliest and most treatable stages.
Using state-of-the-art imaging technology including 3D Tomosynthesis , we provide accurate, comfortable, and timely breast cancer screening for women of all ages. Our experienced team is committed to delivering compassionate care in a supportive environment, helping you stay proactive about your breast health.
- Current government guidelines suggest routine screening of all women age 50 – 74 every two years. This is the basis of the breast screening programmes conducted throughout Australia.
- There is increasing evidence that screening mammograms are beneficial in women aged 40 – 49 (in addition to the 50 – 69 age group). Also, there is further evidence to suggest that screening mammograms should be conducted every year rather than every two years and of course depending on individual’s family breast cancer history and breast density.
- Women’s & Breast Imaging recommends all women over 40.
