Central Clinic for Women is excited to offer our patients the convenience of 3D mammograms to provide the best breast health screenings possible for our patients in Little Rock. Patients can have 3D mammogram screenings during their annual checkup. Almost all insurances in Arkansas will cover this screening, but we advise all patients to check their specific insurance plan details.
Mammograms are a 3-D breast X-Ray images that allow your doctor to spot signs of breast cancer or any abnormalities that may not be felt during a routine breast health exam. Our new technology will produce 3D breast imaging, giving doctors the ability to view the breasts at multiple angles. This will help doctors spot signs of changes sooner which will increase the chance of catching signs of breast cancer quicker and possibly helping with breast cancer prevention.
When Should You Start Receiving Mammograms?
Age 35-40: It is recommended that women in their 30s and 40s have the option to start annual mammograms if they choose. It's a good idea to discuss the benefits with their doctor.
These guidelines are based on average risk. However, it's important to note that individual risk factors, such as a family history of breast cancer, genetic mutations, and personal medical history, can influence when and how often you should have mammograms. Women with higher risk factors may need to start mammograms earlier or have them more frequently.
Additionally, it's crucial to have a discussion with your doctor about your breast health and the best screening schedule for your specific circumstances. They can provide personalized recommendations based on your medical history, family history, and other relevant factors. Early breast cancer detection can make a big difference.
