Scheduling an annual mammogram starting at age 40 (or earlier, depending on your breast cancer risk factors and family history) is one of the most important things women can do to take control of their health. New Jersey Imaging Network proudly serves women throughout Bergen, Camden, Essex, Gloucester, Hudson, Middlesex, Morris, Passaic, Union, and Ocean counties with convenient, comfortable screening close to home. Regular screenings make a difference! A screening mammogram can detect breast cancer before symptoms appear, when treatment options are often more effective. Whether it's your first mammogram or your annual screening, we're here to make the experience as convenient and comfortable as possible. Importance of Annual Screening Mammograms: Early Detection of Breast Cancer: Mammograms can detect breast cancer at its earliest stages, often before symptoms appear. Early detection significantly increases the chances of successful treatment and survival. Improved Treatment Options: When breast cancer is detected early, treatment options are generally less aggressive and more effective. This can lead to better outcomes and a higher quality of life for patients. Monitoring Changes: Annual screening mammograms provide a baseline of breast tissue that helps radiologists detect subtle changes over time. This comparison can help identify abnormalities or suspicious changes that might indicate cancer. Risk Assessment: For women with a family history of breast cancer or other risk factors, annual mammograms can help assess their individual risk and guide decisions about additional screenings or preventive measures. Empowerment through Awareness: Knowing one's breast health status through regular screening empowers individuals to take proactive steps towards their health, including lifestyle changes and early intervention if necessary.
