MAMMOGRAPHY

A mammogram provides detailed images of the breast tissue using a low-dose x-ray system. This aids in the early detection and diagnosis of breast diseases.

OceanMed is proud to use the latest GE Senographe Pristina 3D mammography system, designed for patient comfort and resulting in a better overall breast exam experience.

mammogram services include:

  • Screening 3D mammogram
  • Diagnostic 3D mammogram
  • Diagnostic contrast-enhanced mammogram
  • Stereotactic breast biopsy

 

WHO SHOULD GET A SCREENING MAMMOGRAM?

A mammogram is recommended as a screening tool for all women over the age of 40 as early detection of abnormal tissue greatly improves treatment outcome. Ensure you know your insurance benefits for a screening mammogram. Typically, this is covered under your Wellness benefits, but some plans have a separate annual mammogram allowance. OceanMed also accepts vouchers from The Breast Cancer Foundation, The Lions Club and The Cayman Islands Cancer Society.
