Ascension One, an easier way to manage care for your entire family
Personalized, compassionate breast screenings
Ascension Seton delivers advanced digital imaging options, personalized for each patient. We provide breast ultrasounds, mammograms, biopsies and other screenings for women. Getting regular screenings may help find breast cancer early, when it is most treatable. That’s why it is important for women to get a mammogram every year, beginning at age 40. We’re dedicated to delivering care for your breast health that is right for you.
At Ascension Seton Marble Falls Women's Diagnostic Center, we provide comprehensive breast imaging, including:
- 3D Mammograms (Tomosynthesis): When used as a screening tool, this 3D imaging technology increases the overall detection of breast cancer and reduces the recall rate for screenings – which is a very important issue. Tomosynthesis is an imaging X-ray technique used for the early detection of breast cancer and can help find cancers in dense breast tissue.
- Breast ultrasound: Uses sound waves to create images of the breast. These ultrasound images are referred to as sonograms. Breast ultrasound is a non-invasive test and can aid in diagnosing benign and malignant disease.
- Bone density tests (DEXA scan): This is performed to evaluate patients to find and treat osteoporosis and to help prevent fractures that can lead to disability.
About 3D mammography
Ascension Seton Breast Care Center provides 3D mammography (breast tomosynthesis). Unlike a traditional mammogram, 3D mammography uses X-rays to produce more detailed images of the breast by capturing multiple views at different angles. A 3D reconstructed image of the breast is generated and the radiologist and breast specialist can review images one slide at a time, almost like turning pages in a book.
At the Ascension Seton Breast Care Center, we bring together doctors and a care team to deliver care that is right for you: surgeon, radiation oncologist, medical oncologist, radiologist, pathologist, dietitian, research nurses, nurse navigators, and other specialists.
