National Women's Health Week just ended — and it was a big success in encouraging women to take some simple steps to help ensure health and wellness. If you haven't already do so, you can follow up on the spirit of the week by screening for early signs of osteoporosis and breast cancer . . .

Mammography is performed to screen women for signs of breast cancer, to follow-up on findings from another screening, or to evaluate symptoms of a breast disorder such as a lump, breast pain, dimpling of the skin, nipple discharge, or retraction of the nipple. A mammogram is the best test for breast cancer, and the best way to find breast cancer early. Click here to learn about a convenient mammogram from Providence Medical Imaging.

DEXA bone densitometry is an advanced method of measuring bone density, allowing your physician to estimate the overall strength of bones and the likelihood of fractures. A DEXA bone density scan is far superior to standard x-ray measuring techniques, which do not detect changes in bone density until a 30% bone loss is already experienced.
