American Fork Hospital offers screening, diagnostic, and 3D mammograms to detect breast cancer.
All women who would be undergoing a standard mammogram are eligible.
The patient experience for a 3D screening mammogram is very similar to the traditional 2D mammogram. The technologist will position you, compress your breast, and take images from multiple angles. The X-ray dose, compression, and views for a 3D mammogram are similar to the standard 2D.
Since this technology is new, not all insurance companies cover the cost of this preventative screening at this time. Please check with your insurance provider to confirm whether or not 3D mammography is a covered benefit. If it is not, 3D mammography is available to you for an additional cost of $157.
Please give us a call and speak with the mammogram scheduler if you are interested in getting a 3D mammogram.
