Mammogram: Breast Cancer Screening

The goal of mammograms is to find breast cancer at the earliest possible stage, before it causes symptoms or pain and when it is easier to treat.

UChicago Medicine offers mammography at several locations, including our main location in Chicago and at several locations in the suburbs and in Crown Point, IN.

What is a Mammogram?

A mammogram is an imaging test that looks for early signs of breast cancer, often before any symptoms appear. It’s one of the most effective tools doctors use to detect breast cancer in its earliest and most treatable stages.

At UChicago Medicine, our board-certified radiologists provide the full range of image interpretation and image-guided procedures to uncover signs of disease, including:

• 2D digital mammography, breast ultrasound and breast MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)

• 3D mammography, which takes multiple images of the breast (tomosynthesis)
