Prevention is the Best Medicine!

A mammogram is the single most effective method of screening for breast cancer. This simple test is a fast, non-invasive type of breast imaging that uses a low-dose of x-rays to examine the breast for abnormalities. Often times, a mammogram plays a vital role in the detection of breast cancer, sometimes showing changes in breasts well before patients or physicians can physically detect them.

At Rhea Medical Center, we encourage women to start having mammograms at age 40, or younger, depending on family history, current symptoms, or other potential risk factors for developing breast cancer.
