Mammography saves lives, but many women put off routine screening due to the discomfort associated with the exam. In fact, it is the number one reason women avoid getting regular mammography screening, which can place their health at risk.
Radiology Associates has taken strides to make getting a mammogram more accurate and comfortable than ever before with the adoption of the Hologic® SmartCurve™ Breast Stabilization System. Adding SmartCurve to our Genius™ 3D Mammography™ exam delivers state-of-the-art accuracy and superior comfort with a curved platform that aligns with the shape of the breast for noticeably less discomfort during compression. 93% of women surveyed found SmartCurve more comfortable than standard mammography compression, and 80% said the improvement would encourage them to have future mammograms on schedule, rather than engaging in potentially dangerous delays.
Staying on target with mammography screenings can mean finding breast cancer while it is still localized, for the easiest treatment and the best chance of optimal outcomes. Together, we can win the war against breast cancer - comfortably.
