Early detection saves lives. It's that simple. Promoting Women's Breast Health Because detecting breast cancer early is so critical to successful treatment Maiden Lane Medical has paired with Assured Imaging to provide mammogram screenings right here in the office in Midtown Manhattan!!

Every year, over 325,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer, including early-stage and invasive forms of the disease. Over 41,000 women will die of breast cancer each year. With early diagnosis and rapid treatment, you increase your chances of surviving this prevalent women’s health issue.

Mammograms are critical to diagnosing breast cancer in its early and more easily treated stages. It can also help in discovering other irregularities of the breasts such as having dense breasts. The team is proud to offer convenient, in-office mammography services at Maiden Lane Medical. Our state-of-the-art equipment provides digital, 3D tomosynthesis (3D mammograms), and advanced ultrasound services in an American College of Radiologists accredited suite.

What is mammography?

Mammography is a diagnostic imaging study that uses low-dose X-rays to create pictures of the insides of your breasts. Maiden Lane Medical offers cutting-edge mammography services, including digital 3D mammograms. Technologically advanced mammography creates more detailed images, allowing your physician to examine a more detailed view of your breast tissue.

3D mammograms take multiple pictures of your breast tissue. The computer then combines those images to create a 3D model of your breast, revealing areas of dense tissue, calcification, or other abnormalities that could indicate breast cancer.

What should I expect during my mammography screening?

After you check in with our friendly office staff, a clinical team member escorts you to the mammography suite. You take off your shirt, bra, and any jewelry and put on a gown, leaving it open at the front.

You stand in front of the mammography machine, and the technician helps position your breast onto the plate. The tech lowers another plate on top of your breast, which slightly compresses your breast. This helps you remain still and allows the equipment to take clear pictures of your breast tissue.

The technician releases your breast and repositions the plates to a nearly vertical position, capturing your breast between them to collect images from a different angle. The technician repeats the process on your other breast.

How should I prepare for a mammogram?

You don’t need to do much to prepare for your mammogram.

You will be pleasantly surprised at how quick, easy, and comfortable a visit to our digital mammography office can be. Our on-site mammography, and ultrasound, are much faster and convenient than a visit to a typical fixed-site facility, so you can be done and on your way in very little time.

Below are tips on how to prepare for your visit, so the experience can be as smooth and comfortable as possible:

Talk to your health care professional about any concerns you have regarding the need for the test you have scheduled, how it will be performed, or what the results will mean to you.
The day of your mammogram wear a two-piece outfit so that it is easy to undress above the waist.
You shouldn’t wear deodorant, antiperspirant, or any creams, lotions, or perfumes to your appointment. Wearing these items can make mammograms more difficult to read and may corrupt equipment. If you must wear deodorant, moist towelettes will be available so you can remove it before your exam.

What happens after a mammogram?

Our board-certified, fellowship-trained radiologists read your mammograms. With over 20 years of experience, they interpret your mammogram and provide rapid results directly to your provider. This reduces back-and-forth communication between an outside radiology practice and your gynecologist in the case of abnormal results. Your gynecologist can take action right away to order additional testing or other necessary next steps.

When should I have a mammogram?

If you’re between the ages of 40-54 and have a low to average risk of breast cancer, you should have a mammogram every year. From the age of 55, you can have the test every other year for as long as you’re in good health. Talk to your gynecologist about your risk of breast cancer and get personalized advice on how often you should have this potentially life-saving health screening.

While you should also check your breasts at home every month, mammograms are the most effective way to detect breast cancer in its early stages. Our advanced technology can identify abnormal tissue and lumps that you can’t feel from the outside. Early detection increases your chances of successful treatment, as smaller tumors often require less invasive treatment.
