Breast Center: Advanced Mammography
Video: Are There Different Types of Mammograms?
Early detection is essential for surviving breast cancer. Mammograms, self-exams
and breast health screenings can give you a head start in the race against this
disease. The American Cancer Society recommends a baseline mammogram between the
ages of 35 and 40, with annual mammograms after age 40.
To help detect breast cancer in its earliest stages, the
UF Health Breast Imaging Center – Emerson,
UF Health Breast Imaging Center – Jacksonville, UF Health Imaging Center – Baymeadows,
UF Health Imaging Services – Wildlight and
UF Health Radiology – North offer state-of-the-art
mammography services. All locations now use the latest in breast imaging – 3D digital
breast tomosynthesis. This technology provides UF Health radiologists a view of
the breast layer by layer, showing the size, shape and location of abnormalities.
If a lump or abnormality is detected, the Breast Center offers a number of diagnostic
services, including stereotactic, image-guided biopsies and fine needle aspiration
biopsies. The center also offers ductal lavage, an innovative, minimally invasive
method of searching for abnormal cells inside the milk ducts, where most breast
cancer begins.
