A mammogram is an x-ray of the breast that is used to detect and evaluate breast changes. Mammograms, in conjunction with breast examinations by a health professional and monthly breast self-exams, are the best means of detecting breast disease at its earliest stages. 

Our mammography centers are accredited by the American College of Radiology and South Shore Hospital’s breast imaging program is designated a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology.

At South Shore Health, we offer advanced breast imaging and testing—including 3D mammography—for further diagnosis and treatment planning.

Advances in diagnostic imaging now make it possible to identify and treat diseases in ways that were unimaginable as recently as 20 years ago. South Shore Hospital's team of board-certified radiologists is the largest in the region.
