Mammograms Save Lives – Where You Get Yours Matters

Not all mammograms are created equal, and it does matter where you choose to get yours.

At The University of Kansas Health System, your mammograms are read by dedicated breast radiologists who exclusively read breast images. This gives you the peace of mind you deserve knowing your breast screening for cancer is being reviewed by the best.

That means something, considering that in the US a woman receives a breast cancer diagnosis every 2 minutes, and about 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer over her lifetime. Together with clinical breast exams and breast self-examination, regular screening mammograms provide the best chance of detecting breast cancer when it’s small and most treatable.

We offer 3D screening mammograms and welcome walk-in screenings at multiple convenient locations throughout greater Kansas City.

Our breast cancer detection rates exceed the national average because our dedicated, board-certified, fellowship-trained breast radiologists exclusively read breast images ‒ more than 31,000 a year. In fact, our breast radiologists routinely reimage patients and uncover cancers that were either missed or inaccurately staged because the tumor size and specifications were incorrect. With the right technology and the right imaging expertise and precision, we can diagnose breast cancer at its earliest stage, when it’s 98% curable.

Most instances of breast cancer are found by women during their normal daily routine, like while getting dressed or taking a shower. If you find a lump or have other symptoms such as breast pain or swelling, call us at 913-588-1227. A mammogram for a lump or other concern is different than a screening.

Breast imaging services from The University of Kansas Health System offer the region’s most technologically advanced options for breast mammograms. Our breast imaging center was the first in the region to earn accreditation from The American College of Radiology and to become recognized as a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence.
