3D Mammography Screening

Early Detection Saves Lives. Be Safe. Get Checked.

Early Detection

When it comes to diagnosing breast cancer, early detection is the best protection. Sioux Center Health is committed to leading-edge technologies and sophisticated practices that save lives by giving patients a vital head start through early detection of breast cancer.

Full- Field Digital Mammography

Available to patients at a convenient location, our state-of-the-art equipment provides several advantages, allowing us to identify and treat breast cancer at its earliest and most curable stages. We offer both screening and diagnostic mammography services as well as diagnostic ultrasound imaging of the breast.

3D Mammography

If you have dense breast tissue, your provider may choose to combine digital mammography with 3D mammography, also known as Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT). With 3D technology, the machine moves around the breast in an arc to create snapshots of the breast tissue in thin layers. These enhanced images offer benefits such as:

  • Earlier detection of small breast cancers that may not appear as well in standard mammography
  • Fewer biopsies and additional testing
  • Clearer images of dense breast tissue
  • Greater accuracy in pinpointing size and location

1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer at some point in their lives. Give yourself the best opportunity to detect breast cancer at its earliest stages by following these breast screening recommendations:

Women 40 and over:

  • Mammogram yearly
  • Clinical breast exam yearly
  • Breast self-exam monthly

Women 25 – 39:

  • Clinic breast exam every 1-3 years
  • Breast self-exam monthly
  • A mammogram may be recommended for women with a positive family history

If you are 40+, we encourage you to schedule your yearly mammogram during the month of your birthday by calling (712) 722-8116.
