Mammography
Mammography at Penn Highlands Healthcare Helps Detect Breast Cancer Early
Mammography is the first line of defense in the fight against breast cancer. Early detection is the key to beating cancer because when caught early, it’s much more treatable. Our facilities have state-of-the-art mammogram technology in private and comfortable settings. Mammograms are X-ray screenings that check for breast cancer.
3-D Mammography
Tomosynthesis – more commonly called 3-D mammography – is now available. Using the same X-ray technology as traditional 2-D mammography, the procedure feels essentially the same for the patient. The difference is the image clarity for the radiologist who reads the mammogram. Whereas 2-D mammograms give views only from the front and side of the breast, 3-D mammograms provide images of the breast in “slices” from many different angles.
Two-dimensional mammography is still a gold standard and is indicated for routine screenings. It is an excellent tool for detecting breast abnormalities.

Additional Diagnostic Services For Women At Penn Highlands
Breast Ultrasound
If something shows up on a mammogram that doesn’t look right, what are the next steps? There are two possibilities – breast ultrasound or MRI.
Stereotactic Breast Biopsies
If a mammogram or clinical breast exam does detect a lump in your breast, you’re in good hands at Penn Highlands Healthcare. We offer stereotactic breast biopsies, where a doctor removes a small sample of breast tissue to examine it for breast cancer or other problems. Our experts also perform ultrasound-guided breast biopsies, where a doctor uses ultrasound imaging to pinpoint the exact tissue to be removed for examination.
Bone Density (DEXA) Scans
Penn Highlands also offers DEXA scans, which use an enhanced form of X-ray technology to determine bone density to help diagnose osteoporosis.
