Specialized Experts in Mammography & Other Women’s Imaging Services
Women’s imaging covers a range of diagnostic tests to help women know if they have any health abnormalities or diseases. Women’s imaging tests (like mammography) can warn you and your doctor about potential life-threatening problems. They can also help your healthcare team decide on a treatment plan or recovery strategy. The latest women’s imaging screening technology is used to find and stop undiagnosed illnesses before they become larger problems.
At West County Radiological Group, our goal is to provide patients and their providers with the information and support needed to make confident, informed decisions.

The Importance of Screening Mammography
Mammograms are the best way to find breast cancer early when it is easier to treat. The following are a few examples of why to undergo annual screening mammograms beginning at the age of 40:
- One in six breast cancers occurs in women in their 40s.
- Mammography has helped reduce breast cancer mortality in the U.S. by nearly 40% since 1990.
- One study shows mammography screening cut the risk of dying from breast cancer nearly in half.
- Three out of four women diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history of the disease and are not considered high risk.
- Annual screening mammograms save lives and are the #1 way to detect and diagnose breast cancer at an early age.
