Happy Women's Health Week!
Major medical associations recommend that women start screening mammography at age 40, and annually thereafter. Getting a state-of-the-art screening mammogram at a breast-dedicated facility, such as Washington Radiology, is the most effective way to empower women with knowledge about their breast health.
Washington Radiology’s screening mammography center in Ballston at 1005 North Glebe Road offers 2-D and 3-D screening mammography, and bone density studies. They are committed to providing women with an exceptional mammography experience, supported by dedicated team members who specialize in breast screening. Their patient-centric approach considers all aspects of the patient’s visit, making the experience such an easy one that women won’t avoid getting the annual mammogram they need. Conveniences include online appointment requests, free parking and Wi-Fi. Understanding that environment is often a big part of the experience, the Ballston center offers a warm and welcoming space with a distinctly non-clinical feel through warm colors, soft music and a peaceful home-like environment.
Since 1948, Washington Radiology has been an innovative leader in medical imaging care.
