Screening mammography is an X-ray exam that produces images of the internal structures of the breasts. It is the most accurate method of evaluating the entire breast. These images can detect abnormal calcifications, as well as lumps that are too small to be felt by you or your doctor. All
exams are performed by female registered technologists who have had specialized training and certification in mammography.
A breast radiologist will read your mammogram and a report of your exam will be sent to your provider. As with all other imaging services, at Winston Medical Center, there are no long drives and no long waiting periods.
