About 1 in 8 women in the United States will develop breast cancer at some point in her lifetime and in recent years, the incidence rate of breast cancer has been increasing.
According to the CDC, Mammograms are the best way to find breast cancer early, when it is easier to treat. And having regular mammograms can lower the risk of dying from breast cancer.
In addition to adhering to regular screenings, the key to maintaining breast health is through information – because knowledge is power!
In this episode, we speak with Dr. Jason McKellop, breast radiologist and Medical Director at Breastlink Tarzana, about recent research in breast health and breast screening, covering various topics from breast density, to false positives in screening mammograms, to 3D mammography to breast calcifications.
We also discuss cutting-edge technology currently being employed at Breastlink Tarzana (and other RadNet locations), that implements Artificial Intelligence to deliver greater accuracy in mammograms.
