Preventive Care
Taking care of your breast health starts with regular screenings. A mammogram is still the most effective tool we have for detecting breast cancer early – when it’s most treatable. Now, thanks to advances in technology, mammograms are becoming even smarter.
Axia Women’s Health now offers AI-assisted mammograms at no extra cost to you. AI-assisted mammograms combine the skill of your breast-specialized radiologist with the support of advanced artificial intelligence. This means your screening has the same comfort and process you’re used to – only now with an extra layer of accuracy and confidence.
Below, we’re answering some of the most frequently asked questions about AI mammograms.
An AI mammogram is just like a standard mammogram: you’ll have the same imaging procedure with no extra steps, time, or discomfort. The difference happens behind the scenes. After your images are taken, they are analyzed not only by your radiologist but also by MammoScreen®, an FDA-cleared AI technology designed specifically for breast cancer screening.
Think of it as giving your radiologist a second set of highly trained eyes. MammoScreen® highlights areas that may need a closer look, helping ensure that subtle changes are less likely to be missed.
Added accuracy: AI doesn’t replace your radiologist—it works alongside them to strengthen the accuracy of your results.
Earlier detection: The earlier potential concerns are flagged, the better the chance of effective treatment.
Peace of mind: You benefit from both your radiologist’s training and the power of advanced technology working together.
Yes. The imaging process is exactly the same as a traditional mammogram, so there’s no difference in safety or the way the test is performed. The only difference is that your results benefit from the added support of AI analysis.
No. AI never replaces your radiologist. Instead, it acts as an extra tool—providing a second review to help your radiologist identify areas that may need closer attention.
Not all breast imaging centers offer AI-assisted mammography. By choosing our practice, you’re choosing the latest in early detection technology—without any additional cost, time, or steps for you.
It’s the same mammogram you’re used to, simply made smarter.
Not at all. Your experience during an AI-assisted mammogram is identical to a standard mammogram. You’ll have the same type of imaging, on the same machine, with the same amount of time and comfort level as before. Nothing about the procedure itself changes.
The difference happens only after your images are taken – when advanced AI technology reviews them alongside your radiologist. You won’t notice any added steps or delays, but you’ll benefit from the added confidence of having both human expertise and AI analysis working together for your care.
Your health deserves every advantage. With AI-assisted mammograms, you’ll receive the most advanced screening available, giving you and your care team extra confidence in your results.
