About Our Mammogram Services
At the Garden Mammography Center in Nassau County, we specialize in state-of-the-art breast imaging technology designed to detect breast cancer early. Our facility offers both screening mammograms and diagnostic mammograms, utilizing 3D mammography, also known as digital breast tomosynthesis, which provides a more accurate and detailed picture of breast tissue.
What Is a Screening Mammogram?
A screening mammogram is a routine breast exam used to detect changes in breast tissue that may indicate cancer. Women aged 35 and older should schedule an annual mammogram to ensure early detection. Our low-dose digital mammograms are designed for both comfort and accuracy, giving you peace of mind during your breast cancer screening.
Diagnostic Mammograms for Further Evaluation
If abnormalities such as lumps or other changes are detected in the breast, or if you have symptoms of breast cancer, we may recommend a diagnostic mammogram. This procedure allows for a closer examination of suspicious areas and is a key tool in the diagnosis of breast cancer.

Benefits of Early Detection with Mammograms
Early detection of breast cancer saves lives. Regular mammogram screenings significantly reduce the risk of dying from breast cancer by catching the disease in its early stages when it is most treatable. Mammograms can detect tumors that are too small to be felt, giving women in Nassau County access to life-saving breast cancer screening.
Who Should Get a Mammogram?
While women aged 35 and above should begin annual breast cancer screenings, some women with higher risk factors, such as a family history of breast cancer, may need to start earlier. If you have dense breast tissue, you may benefit from more frequent diagnostic mammograms to ensure nothing is missed.
What to Expect During Your Mammogram
Our caring and experienced staff will guide you through the process to ensure your mammogram experience is as comfortable and stress-free as possible. You’ll be asked to stand in front of a mammography machine where each breast will be gently compressed to spread the tissue for clear images. The procedure is quick, lasting only a few minutes, and the benefits of early breast cancer detection far outweigh any temporary discomfort.
