Mammogram FAQs
What is Involved in a 3D Mammogram, and How Do I Schedule an Appointment?
A 3D Mammogram at Jefferson Radiology offers a state-of-the-art screening with numerous benefits, streamlining the detection process with quicker appointments and scan times. As a Mammography Accredited Facility recognized by the American College of Radiology, we provide enhanced breast cancer detection, improving accuracy by 20-65% compared to traditional 2D mammography. This precision significantly reduces the likelihood of needing additional screenings and ensures earlier diagnosis.
In Connecticut, our 3D Screening Mammograms are covered under most health insurance plans, including Medicaid, following state and federal mandates. This coverage is available for women over 40, requiring no out-of-pocket expenses when using an in-network provider. Importantly, no special preparation or referral is necessary for scheduling a mammogram.
How Do I Schedule an Appointment?
To schedule your annual 3D Mammogram, simply reach out to our main scheduling office at 860-291-6569. Our friendly staff will assist you in finding the most convenient time for your appointment.
Why Are Annual Mammograms Important?
Regular breast cancer screenings are essential for early detection and effective treatment. With the help of Jefferson Radiology’s advanced 3D Mammography, our expert physicians can detect cancer in its earliest stages and when it’s most treatable while significantly reducing false positives.
3D Mammography is key in “early detection” because it has the capability to identify breast cancers when they are very small, much smaller than what was previously detectable with traditional 2D Mammography. This level of detail is crucial for catching cancers before they grow and become more challenging to treat.
Who Reads the Mammogram Results?
Jefferson Radiology’s Breast Imaging Radiologists interpret every mammogram. They undertake years of specialized training, including four years of medical school, one year of internship, four years of diagnostic radiology residency, plus an additional year of fellowship in Breast Imaging.
Many of our radiologists attended some of the top academic institutions in the nation, including Harvard, Brown, and other Ivy League universities. This extensive education and training equip our breast imagers with specialized proficiency, ensuring your mammograms are interpreted by physicians expertly trained in this area. Sub-specialized radiologists, like breast imagers, significantly enhance patient care with their precise diagnoses and deep insights, identifying key details for optimal treatment plans.
How Can I Prepare for a Mammogram?
There isn’t any special preparation for a mammogram; however, if you’re visiting us for the first time, be sure to bring a list of the dates and locations of your previous mammograms, biopsies, or any other breast procedures you’ve had.
On the exam day, don’t apply deodorant, antiperspirant, powders, lotions, creams, or perfumes under your arms or on or under your breasts. You might find it easier to wear a skirt or pants, so you’ll only need to remove your top and bra for the mammogram.
Be sure to discuss any recent changes or problems in your breasts with the technician before getting the mammogram, as well as family history of breast cancer.
What If I Have Dense Breasts — How Does Mammography Help?
The Genius™ 3D exam has been clinically proven to greatly reduce the chance of callbacks, which are common for women with dense breast tissue. It is the only FDA-approved 3D mammography machine to offer superior performance in women with dense breasts for routine breast cancer screening over standard 2D mammography. Additional testing such as breast ultrasound or breast MRI may be recommended for more detailed imaging.
Why is 3D Mammography a Higher Image Quality Than a Standard 2D Mammogram?
Our 3D technology will provide your radiologist with a series of up to 200 images, a significant improvement from just four images offered by a conventional mammogram. This technology makes fine details more visible, allowing your radiologist to better evaluate the breast tissue layer by layer.
What Should I Expect During a Mammogram?
The process of a Genius™ 3D mammography exam is the same as your conventional 2D exam. The technologist will position you, compress your breast, and take images from different angles. There’s no additional compression required.
The technologist will view the images of your breasts at the computer workstation to ensure quality images have been captured for review. A radiologist will then examine the images and report results to either your physician or directly to you.
Is a 3D Mammogram Covered by Insurance?
As of January 1st, 2019, 3D mammography screening exams are covered by Medicare and private insurers in the state of Connecticut and not subject to copays. Screening mammography exams are considered a preventative screening exam and as such, are not subject to co-pays.
Which of Your Locations Offer 3D Mammograms?
All of our locations offer 3D mammography, including Avon, Bloomfield, Enfield Farmington, Glastonbury, Granby, Hartford, West Hartford, and Wethersfield.
To schedule your annual 3D Mammogram, simply reach out to our main scheduling office at 860-291-6569. Our friendly staff will assist you in finding the most convenient time for your appointment.
What is the Difference Between a Diagnostic and a Screening Mammogram?
A screening mammogram is generally covered as a yearly preventative exam through your insurance. A diagnostic mammogram is an exam that requires more detailed images from different angles that allow the radiologist to check the area more closely. This type of mammogram is applied toward the patient’s deductible.
What Type of Follow Up Tests Could I Have After a Mammogram?
- Breast Ultrasound: This non-invasive exam provides a better view of the breast, cysts, or masses so your radiologist can provide a more accurate diagnosis.
- Breast MRI: This exam provides more information after an abnormal mammogram. It’s considered more invasive since contrast material is given through an IV before the procedure.
- Breast Biopsy: This procedure takes cells/tissue samples with abnormal findings from the area.
What Type of Mammogram Findings Could Show on my Exam?
- A benign breast condition: A mass that is not cancerous, such as a lump, cyst, or nipple discharge.
- Calcifications: Small, bright white spots of calcium that can appear on about half of all mammograms of women ages 50 and older (and on about 1 in 10 mammograms of younger women).
- Non-invasive breast cancers: Such as Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) where abnormal cells grow in the milk ducts.
- Invasive breast cancer: Abnormal cells inside the milk ducts or lobules spread out into nearby breast tissue. When the abnormal cells spread to other parts of the body, it is called metastatic cancer, also known as stage IV or advanced breast cancer.
