Gordon Memorial Health Services is excited to announce the arrival of groundbreaking technology that brings a new level of care to our community — the Hologic 3D Mammography™ system. This state-of-the-art advancement offers clearer, more detailed breast images, helping detect cancer earlier and with greater accuracy.
Why 3d Mammography Matters
Breast cancer is most treatable when detected early. However, nearly 50% of women over the age of 40 have dense breast tissue, which can make it harder for traditional 2D mammograms to identify abnormalities. The new 3D Mammography™ exam captures multiple layers of breast tissue, producing a highly detailed three-dimensional view. This significantly improves the ability to detect small cancers while reducing the number of unnecessary callbacks for additional imaging.
By reducing overlapping structures and providing a more complete image of the breast, this advanced technology minimizes the risk of missed diagnoses and increases confidence for both patients and providers.
Backed by FDA Approval and High Standards
The Hologic 3D Mammography™ system is the first FDA-approved breast tomosynthesis system in the United States. It is regulated under the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA), which ensures that mammography facilities meet strict federal standards for equipment, staff training, and quality assurance.
This means patients can trust the care they receive at Gordon Memorial Health Services to meet the highest safety and quality standards.
Affordable and Covered by Insurance
One of the most important features of this new technology is accessibility. The 3D Mammography™ exam is widely covered by Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Medicaid in some states, and most private insurance plans. This helps eliminate cost as a barrier and allows more women to benefit from this advanced screening option.
If you’re unsure about your coverage, our team is happy to help you understand your benefits.
Expanding Access to Diagnostic Mammograms
In addition to screening mammograms, Gordon Memorial Health Services is now offering diagnostic mammograms for the first time. This means we can more effectively evaluate any breast concerns and follow up quickly on any changes or findings. It’s another way we are expanding our services to better meet the needs of the community.
A Message from Our CEO
“We are thrilled that our board of directors has approved this investment in our community’s health,” said Megan Heath, CEO of Gordon Memorial Health Services. “Offering 3D mammography means we can better serve our patients with the highest quality of care.”
At Gordon Memorial, we believe that rural communities deserve access to the same high-level care as large urban centers. This new technology is a reflection of that commitment.
