A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast and is the best way to find breast cancer when
it is too small to be felt by a self-breast exam or by your doctor.
Holzer Clinic Obstetricians/Gynecologists and
the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists are recommending that women age
40 and over should have a mammogram every year. Mammography combined with a regular
self-breast exam gives every patient the best possible chance of finding breast cancer at
a curable stage.
Holzer Clinic offers Mammography with the latest technology, the R2 Image Checker. R2's
Computer Aided Detection (CAD) system, the ImageChecker, assists radiologists by digitizing
and analyzing mammograms for suspicious regions that may be indicative of cancer. The
ImageChecker is the only FDA approved CAD system and provides assurance for radiologists and
their patients.
