Breast health

Mammograms are the gold standard for breast cancer detection and are recommended for all women who are 40 to 74 years old or younger if recommended by their doctor. That is why we offer advanced 3D mammograms (tomography). They provide detailed images of the breast, allowing a physician to evaluate breast tissue better layer by layer. This procedure makes fine details more visible, ensuring they are no longer hidden by overlapping tissue.

We proudly offer these and other specialized imaging services at most of our MountainStar Healthcare hospitals.
