The Johns Hopkins Breast Center provides mammogram screening services for the early detection of breast cancer and other breast abnormalities. We use digital mammography, which provides a clearer and more accurate image of the breast and aids in the accurate diagnosis of early stage breast cancers. Additionally, Johns Hopkins imaging offers 3D mammography, or tomosynthesis, a revolutionary screening and diagnostic tool designed for early detection of breast cancer that can be done in conjunction with a traditional 2D digital mammogram.
After your screening, which will take place at the Johns Hopkins Outpatient Center, a radiologist will read your mammogram and prepare a report. A letter will arrive within 7-10 days that describes the breast imaging radiologist's findings. You will be contacted if there are any concerns raised by the radiologist about the imaging.
It is important that women understand the difference between a screening mammogram and a diagnostic mammogram.
Nationally, approximately five to 15 percent of women having a screening mammogram will be called back for additional imaging. For some institutions, the rate is higher. Women should not panic when this happens; the findings of additional imaging are usually benign.
