Why choose Adena?

Breast cancer affects one in eight women during their lifetime, but when caught early, it’s highly treatable. Regular mammograms are one of the most important tools in the fight against breast cancer.

At Adena, we’re bringing you the most advanced 3D mammography at our six convenient locations and via our state-of-the-art mobile unit. When you get your mammogram at Adena, your images are interpreted by a subspecialty-trained radiologist with experience in breast imaging. Our mammography services are fully accredited by the American College of Radiology (ACR).

Our technology — combined with our team’s expertise — can distinguish harmless abnormalities from real cancers, leading to fewer callbacks and less anxiety.

Breast cancer screening guidelines

The American Cancer Society recommends that women ages 40 and over who are at average risk for breast cancer should get a mammogram every year. Women are considered average risk if they:
  • Have no personal or family history of breast cancer.
  • Do not carry a known genetic mutation (such as the BRCA gene).
  • Have not received chest radiation therapy before age 30.
Women at higher risk of breast cancer may need to begin screening earlier and may benefit from additional imaging techniques. Your doctor can help you create a personalized screening plan based on your risk factors.

3D mammography: Advanced breast cancer screening

Video explaining 3D mammograms →
Mammograms are an essential tool in the early detection of breast cancer — often identifying signs of cancer before a lump can be felt. They can also reveal clusters of calcium deposits (known as micro-calcifications), which may indicate cancerous or precancerous changes in breast tissue.

3D mammography is a cutting-edge screening technology that provides a more detailed, layer-by-layer view of breast tissue. Unlike traditional mammography, which produces a flat image, 3D mammography captures multiple images from different angles, creating a more complete picture.

This enhanced view helps radiologists see through overlapping tissue, making it easier to identify abnormalities that may have otherwise been hidden.
