Henry Ford WB
Offers Same-Day
Mammogram
Results
H
enry Ford West Bloomfield
Hospital is offering screen-
ing mammogram results at
the time the exam is performed.
Several appointments are reserved
daily for patients who wish to have
their digital mammograms and wait
for the radiologist to give them the
results while they are in the clinic.
Patients may also receive screening
mammogram results by phone within
24 hours, and usually receive a letter
with their results within 48 hours.
"Providing the results of screening
mammograms to patients in the same
appointment as the exam is a rare
service in this region:' says Dr. Denise
Collins, service chief for radiology at
the hospital.
"While we have always given these
results at the same appointment for
diagnostic mammograms — when
we are investigating a suspicious area
— most facilities do not offer such
quick results for the annual screen-
ing mammogram:' says Dr. Patricia
Miller, division head of breast imag-
ing, radiology, at Henry Ford Health
System.
Additional testing, such as ultra-
sound or needle biopsy, if needed,
may be performed at the same
appointment.
An annual mammogram is rec-
ommended for women beginning at
age 40 for early detection of cancer,
regardless of family history:' Miller
adds. "Breast self-exams also are very
important, and women of all ages
should perform them monthly:'
