St. Louis Mammogram Scheduling

Our breast radiologists in St. Louis specialize in mammography, breast ultrasound, breast MRI and minimally invasive biopsy techniques. Our oncology nurse navigators help guide you through your entire treatment process. The American Cancer Society recommends annual mammograms beginning at the age of 45. It's also important to start at around age 19 with self-breast exams on a monthly basis and yearly clinical breast exams by your doctor.

3D Mammography

Mercy Breast Center offers 3D mammography (breast tomosynthesis) for women who are at high risk for breast cancer or who have dense breast tissue. If you have a history of breast cancer or someone in your family who has had breast cancer, be sure to ask for the 3D mammogram when you schedule your annual mammogram. It is available at this location on the Mercy Hospital campus and at the Mercy Breast Center at Clayton-Clarkson.

Advantages of 3D Mammography

Dr. Deborah Wadsworth

A 3D mammogram can detect breast cancer at early stages because of all the images available to the radiologist. It also helps reduce the number of false positives for breast cancer, so women don't have to return for additional screening mammograms.
