Why Every Year Matters

Starting at age 40, annual mammograms are recommended to detect the smallest change in breast tissue, often before it can be felt. Yearly screenings give radiologists prior images to compare year over year, helping them identify changes early, when treatment is most effective.

The American College of Radiology recommends:

Starting your annual mammogram at age 40
Having a breast cancer risk assessment by age 25
Talking to your primary care doctor about screening prior to age 40 if you are at higher risk for breast cancer (particularly African American and certain Jewish women, or those with genetic mutations or a strong family history of breast cancer)
Understanding your breast density category

“Our goal is to help every patient feel informed and confident in her breast health. Specialized expertise allows us to carefully evaluate changes over time and recommend the next step that is right for each patient.”— Dr. Jean Weigert | Jefferson Radiology Breast Imaging Section Chief

Know Before You Book

Explore clear answers to common mammogram questions, from when to start and why annual screening matters to breast density and what to expect during your appointment.

Why do I need a mammogram every year?

Breast changes can develop between screenings and may not be something you can feel. Annual mammograms help your radiologist compare images over time and identify subtle changes early.

What should I know about dense breast tissue?

Dense breast tissue is common, but it can make some changes harder to see and may increase breast cancer risk. Your results will include your breast density and any recommended next steps.

What happens during a mammogram?

A technologist positions each breast between two plates and applies brief compression while low-dose X-ray images are taken. The pressure may feel uncomfortable, but it lasts only a few seconds.

What’s a Screening Vs Diagnostic Mammogram?

Screening mammograms are routine annual exams for patients without symptoms and are typically covered by insurance. Diagnostic mammograms address a specific concern, require a provider’s order, and may be subject to your deductible.

Mammogram FAQs

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 860-289-3375. Our friendly staff will assist you in finding the most convenient time for your appointment.

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.

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.

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 technologist before getting the mammogram, as well as family history of breast cancer, and past biopsy or surgical history.

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.

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.

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.

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 the results directly to your physician and to you.

As of January 1st, 2019, 3D mammography screening exams are covered by Medicare and private insurers in the state of Connecticut and are not subject to copays. Screening mammography exams are considered a preventive screening for asymptomatic patients and, as such, are not subject to copays.

All of our locations offer 3D mammography, including Avon, Bloomfield, Enfield Farmington, Glastonbury, Hartford, West Hartford, and Wethersfield.

To schedule your annual 3D Mammogram, simply reach out to our main scheduling office at 860-289-3375. Our friendly staff will assist you in finding the most convenient time for your appointment.

A screening mammogram is for asymptomatic patients and is generally covered as a yearly preventive exam through your insurance. A diagnostic mammogram is an exam that requires more detailed images that allow the radiologist to check an area more closely. This type of mammogram may be applied toward the patient’s deductible.
