Mammography is an X-ray examination of the breast. It is used to detect and diagnose breast disease in women who either have breast problems such as a lump, pain or nipple discharge, as well as for women who have no breast complaints. The procedure allows detection of breast cancers, benign tumors and cysts before they can be detected by palpation (touch). Mammography is the best screening tool for breast cancer.

We also offer the newest modality of 3D mammography at some of our locations. This is patriciurlay helpful for younger women with dense breast. This is available at Virtua Willingboro Hospital and will also be offered soon in Cherry Hill.
