Join Frederick Memorial Hospital and Frederick Regional Health System as
we celebrate National Mammography Day on October 21st! The very first National Mammography Day was proclaimed by President Bill
Clinton in 1993. This day of recognition serves as a reminder to all women
that the best defense in the fight against Breast Cancer is early detection.
FMH Imaging Services is proud to be the only provider to deliver same day
breast imaging services to the Frederick community. Our patient-friendly
workflow allows us to reduce call backs for additional images (when needed),
ultimately reducing stress for our patients, and the need for additional
follow-up appointments.
The latest Hologic 3D Mammography screening technologies are available
at our Rose Hill and Crestwood facilities; providing convenient access
to FMH Imaging Services no matter where our patients live and work within
Frederick County.

When arriving at one of our FMH Imaging Services location, patients are
given the opportunity to take the Hughes/CRA Risk Assessment while seated
in a private environment. This genetic screening questionnaire will assist
in calculating an individual’s lifetime risk of developing cancer
based on their family history. A mammogram is then performed by a licensed
Mammographer. On-site Radiologists then read the exam and determine if
any additional testing is needed. If so, additional images can be obtained
the very same day. If a biopsy is recommended, an on-site Imaging Navigator
will assist our patients by providing education about the exam, obtaining
personal and family medical history, answering any questions, and providing
assistance in scheduling the necessary follow-up exams.
When leaving an FMH Imaging Services location after having a mammogram,
all of our patients receive a copy of their Mammogram results, their genetic
risk score, and breast density notice (if a patient is identified as having
dense breasts).
Join us in the fight against Breast Cancer by scheduling your mammogram today!
