Stay ahead of breast disease
The first step to staying ahead of breast disease is to know your body.
Schedule an annual mammogram at the UCHealth Breast Center – Highlands Ranch by calling us at the number above. A doctor’s referral is not needed for an annual screening mammogram.
UCHealth Breast Center – Highlands Ranch follows recommendations set by the American College of Radiology, the American Cancer Society and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology:
- Beginning at age 40, all women should have a yearly screening mammogram.
- Women who are considered high risk or who have a strong family history of breast cancer should discuss their screening schedule with a primary care physician. Additional or earlier screenings may be recommended.
3D mammography: our standard of care
Our Breast Center offers 3D mammography using Hologic Genius 3D Breast Tomosynthesis technology. This state-of-the art technology uses multiple low-dose images at multiple angles to produce a series of one-millimeter images that create a 3D reconstruction of the breast. This enhanced visualization aids in the detection of breast cancer, and greatly reduces the need for additional imaging.
3D mammography offers many advantages to traditional mammograms including:
- 40% increase in early detection of invasive breast cancers; 35% increase in all other breast cancer detection.
- 40% decrease in false-positives, reducing unnecessary call backs.
All of our radiologists are fellowship trained and board certified and are solely dedicated to breast imaging. Our Breast Imaging Clinic is fully accredited by the American College of Radiology and the FDA.
