Mammogram Myths,
Answered.

Your Health, Prioritized.

As one of the simplest, most effective ways to protect your health, a mammogram can detect breast cancer early, when it is most treatable. This noninvasive X-ray captures images of the breast tissue, allowing specialists to detect abnormalities, such as tumors or cysts. Annual follow-up mammograms may reveal changes in the breast tissue before symptoms appear.

At Women’s Services of Powers Health, we make screening simple, comfortable and supportive, from start to finish. Led by a team of fellowship-trained, dedicated breast radiologists, we offer the latest in 3D technology to ensure the most precise images. Take the next step with confidence and schedule your mammogram at one of our six convenient locations.

“I feel fine, so I do not need a mammogram.”
Feeling fine does not mean everything is fine. A mammogram is designed to catch what you cannot see or feel.

“Mammograms are painful.”
You may experience brief pressure from the exam but only for a few seconds. Most women find it very manageable.

“The radiation is not safe.”
Mammograms use extremely low-dose radiation, similar to what you are naturally exposed to over a short period of time. The benefits of the mammogram far outweigh the risks.

“I’m afraid of what they might find.”
It is normal to experience apprehension of the unknown. But knowing sooner gives you more control, more options and better outcomes.

Knowing what to expect can make all the difference in feeling comfortable.

During your mammogram:

  • Your appointment typically takes under 30 minutes
  • You will be guided by a trained technologist focused on your comfort
  • The exam involves brief compression to capture clear images

Most women leave their appointment with peace of mind and confidence they took care of their health.
