WHO SHOULD GET A SCREENING MAMMOGRAM?
A mammogram is recommended as a screening tool for all women over the age of 40 as early detection of abnormal tissue greatly improves treatment outcome. Ensure you know your insurance benefits for a screening mammogram. Typically, this is covered under your Wellness benefits, but some plans have a separate annual mammogram allowance. OceanMed also accepts vouchers from The Breast Cancer Foundation, The Lions Club and The Cayman Islands Cancer Society.

The GE Pristina machine is designed to adapt to all breasts including implants and small breasts. The 3D (tomosynthesis) technology allows for less breast compression than 2D while providing exceptional images at a low dose. Images are read by specialist radiologists who provide your report, usually within 24 hours, and will include a comparison to your prior mammogram images if you have them. Not only will your experience be comfortable, but the quality of your testing will be world-class.
