The LeConte Breast Center is now offering Mammo Mondays year-round, with extended hours for Mammography Services, including evening appointments available from 5 p.m. ˆ 7:00 p.m. every Monday.
Women over 40, how long has it been since you had a mammogram?
Mammography continues to be the most important tool in the early detection of breast cancer. Screening mammograms are recommended at age 35 to establish a baseline, and then recommended that women age 40 and older should have an annual mammogram.
Digital mammography in Sevier County
The Breast Center at LeConte Medical Center offers digital mammography ˆ the latest imaging technology that could save your life. Digital mammography uses the same technique as traditional film mammography, except that the digital image is recorded directly into a computer that can then be enlarged or highlighted for the radiologist to review. The convenience of a digital image also allows for other physicians or specialists to view the image more readily if consultation is needed.
To schedule your mammogram during Mammo Mondays, or any business day, call 865.446.8000. Physician referral is not needed to schedule your annual screening mammogram. Remember, the best protection is early detection. Count on LeConte! For more information, including directions to our campus, visit www.lecontemedicalcenter.org
