Mammogram

Mammograms save lives by catching breast cancer early. Using cutting-edge technology, we get sharper images, leading to more accurate detection of breast tumors.

Why Choose Sutter?

Prioritizing your breast health is a powerful act of self-care. Each year, we perform as many mammograms as there are people in Oakland. Using digital 3D mammograms (also called digital breast tomosynthesis) leads to more precise and reliable results. When breast cancer is caught early, survival rates exceed 99% — a compelling reminder that early detection saves lives.

Not every mammogram result is a cause for concern, but getting the right answer matters. For most women, routine screenings start at 40. If you’re at high risk for breast cancer, you may need to start earlier. Talk to your doctor about your family and medical history to create a screening plan that fits you.
