Did you know 1 in 8 women in the United States will develop breast cancer in their lifetime?
Early detection saves lives — and for many women, mammography alone may not be enough.
About 40% of women have dense breast tissue, which can make cancer harder to detect on a mammogram. That’s why we’re excited to offer Automated Breast Ultrasound (ABUS) in addition to 3D screening mammography.
When used together, these technologies can help improve cancer detection in women with dense breast tissue.
✔ Safe and non-invasive
✔ No radiation
✔ Takes about 30 minutes
If you have dense breasts, talk with your provider about whether ABUS screening may be right for you.
📅 Schedule your annual mammogram today and ask about ABUS at Catawba Women’s Center.
