Mammography Services
Your screening or diagnostic mammogram will be reviewed using the newest Computer Aided Diagnostic technology. The ImageChecker System from R2 Technology, Inc., assists the radiologist by identifying areas on the mammogram that contain suspicious features that may warrant a second review. It does not replace a radiologist; rather, it enhances the radiologist's ability to identify potential breast cancers earlier.
And to make your mammography experience more comfortable, we offer MammoPad, a soft foam pillow that cushions your breast without compromising the quality of the X-ray image. Because MammoPads are not covered by insurance, you will be charged a minimal fee if you choose to use one.
High-Risk Care
For most women, having an annual mammogram and performing monthly breast self exams may be adequate to ensure early detection of breast cancer. But for women at high risk of developing breast cancer because of family or personal history, a more comprehensive early detection program is called for.
The Bethesda North Center for Breast Care was the Tristate's first program focused on women at increased risk of developing breast cancer.
Our program pairs advanced technology with expert clinical assessment to facilitate earlier detection of breast cancers in high-risk women.
This comprehensive approach includes:
- close and ongoing monitoring, appropriate medical therapy
- access to clinical trials
- nutrition and diet recommendations
- educational sessions addressing significant advances in breast care
- increased contact with nurses, physicians and other experts who can answer questions and help women understand their specific risk factors to make the most informed decisions possible about potential prevention and earlier detection of breast cancer.
All patients enrolled in our program receive:
- An initial personal risk assessment by a nurse who specializes in breast care
- A biannual physical exam by a breast surgeon
- Breast self-exam instruction with a breast surgeon
- Regular mammograms with computer-aided detection
In addition:
- The surgeon will talk with you about genetic testing and you'll be referred for further consultation and testing if appropriate.
- The surgeon also will discuss Tamoxifen therapy and whether referral to a medical oncologist and enrollment in a Tamoxifen or other trial is right for you.
- Nurses and other experts will consult with you about hormone replacement therapy, diet, dietary supplements, and lifestyle issues as they relate to breast cancer risk and prevention.
Personal Risk Assessment
You may be at higher risk of developing breast cancer if...
- You have a previous history of breast cancer
- Your mother, sister or daughter has had breast cancer
- Your mother, sister or daughter has had ovarian cancer
- You have had atypical cells detected during a breast biopsy
If you have one or more of these risk factors, you may be a candidate for enrollment in the High-Risk Program. Call 513-745-1556 to schedule your personal risk assessment.
Breast Panel
Getting a breast cancer diagnosis is devastating. At our Center, we understand that it can be difficult to navigate the health care system to determine what to do next. That's why we offer patients the distinct advantage of a group of physicians, called the Breast Panel, who review new breast cancer cases.
Should you be diagnosed with breast cancer, your surgeon can present your case to physicians who specialize in areas such as radiology, pathology, surgery, medical oncology, radiation oncology and plastic surgery to recommend a comprehensive plan of care. This provides a more integrated approach to care and can give you peace of mind, knowing that your specific situation has been thoroughly reviewed by not just one, but a group of experts in the field.
