Mammogram

A mammogram is a specialized X-ray used to analyze breast tissue. This method of imaging and radiology can help screen for abnormal changes before a lump is large enough to be felt.

Mammography is a valuable breast cancer screening tool, but it can also aid in the early detection of other breast diseases. Its low levels of radiation make it a safe diagnostic procedure.

Bone Density Scan

A bone density test is a simple, painless, and noninvasive procedure that can detect osteoporosis. During this test, an enhanced form of X-ray technology called a Bone Densitometer measures the bone density of your spine, wrist, and hip. Your exam results can also determine the severity of bone loss and assist in monitoring your response to treatment.

Requires a Physician’s Referral.
