Mammography

Mammogram and 3D Mammography

Mammography takes low-dose X-ray images of breast tissue. The test can identify masses, tumors or other abnormalities you may not feel.

At Winchester Hospital, we know that early detection of breast cancer saves lives. Women over age 40 should have a clinical breast examination by a health care professional and a mammogram every year. They should continue to do so for as long as they are in good health. Our mammography screening sites not only have flexible hours, but also highly trained and skilled physicians and staff.

We utilize digital breast tomosynthesis (3D) Mammography for all screening and diagnostic mammograms (over 26,000 annually). Our screening sites are all licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health Radiation Control Program and are US Food and Drug Administration-certified mammography facilities.
