Breast Cancer Screening Guidelines

One in eight women will face a breast cancer diagnosis in their lifetime. However, according to the National Cancer Institute, regular mammograms can reduce the risk of breast cancer mortality by up to 40%. Women 40 years and older should have a clinical breast exam every year.

Our comprehensive suite of women’s imaging services can detect breast cancer, osteoporosis, and other chronic health problems in the early stages. Accredited by the American College of Radiology (ACR), St. John's Health is equipped with the latest imaging technology, including breast ultrasound and 3D mammography with Tomosynthesis for optimal imaging results.
