Have you had breast imaging elsewhere?

One of the most valuable tools a radiologist has isn’t just today’s mammogram—it’s your prior images.

If you’ve had a mammogram, breast ultrasound, or breast MRI at another facility, let your breast center know where it was performed. They can often request those prior images for comparison.

Comparing prior breast imaging helps the radiologist:
✔️ Identify what’s been stable over time.
✔️ Recognize new changes more accurately.
✔️ Sometimes reduce unnecessary callbacks or additional testing.

A little preparation can make a big difference. Keeping track of where you’ve had breast imaging helps ensure your care team has the most complete picture of your breast health.

💗 Every image tells part of your story.

🩷 Not every woman needs a breast MRI—but for some women, it can be lifesaving.

Breast MRI is one of the most sensitive screening tools available for women at high risk for breast cancer. It doesn’t replace a mammogram—it complements it.

You may benefit from annual breast MRI if you have:
✔️ A lifetime breast cancer risk of 20% or greater
✔️ A genetic mutation such as BRCA1, BRCA2, or TP53
✔️ A strong family history of breast cancer
✔️ Other risk factors your healthcare provider has identified

Breast MRI can detect some cancers that may not be visible on mammography or ultrasound, making it an important part of screening for many high-risk women.

The most important step? Know your risk. Your screening plan should be personalized based on your individual risk factors—not just your age.

💗 Breast Imaging Matters is committed to helping women understand their risk and navigate the screening that’s right for them.

Dense breast tissue is more common than many women realize.

💗 About 40–50% of women undergoing screening mammograms have dense breast tissue.

If you’ve been told you have dense breasts, you’re not alone. Nearly half of screening-age women have dense breast tissue.

Dense breasts are not abnormal, but they are important to understand because they can:
✔️ Make some cancers harder to see on a mammogram.
✔️ Increase your risk of developing breast cancer.
✔️ Mean supplemental screening, such as ultrasound or breast MRI, may be appropriate depending on your individual risk factors.

The goal isn’t to create fear—it’s to encourage informed conversations.

Knowing your breast density is one piece of your overall breast health. Pair it with your family history, personal risk factors, and a conversation with your healthcare provider to determine the screening plan that’s right for you.

💗 Different tools. Better answers.

One of the biggest misconceptions I hear is that one breast imaging test is “better” than another.

The truth is that each imaging modality has unique strengths and limitations. Rather than competing with one another, they work together to give your breast radiologist the most complete picture possible.

🩷 Mammography is the only screening test proven to reduce breast cancer mortality and is the best tool for detecting suspicious calcifications and many early breast cancers.

🩷 Ultrasound is often used to further evaluate an area seen on a mammogram, distinguish cysts from solid masses, guide biopsies, and may also be used as a supplemental screening tool for some women, including many with dense breasts.

🩷 Breast MRI is the most sensitive breast imaging test for many cancers and is recommended for certain high-risk individuals. It can detect some cancers that aren’t visible on mammography or ultrasound, but it does not replace mammography.

Sometimes one imaging test leads to another. A screening mammogram may recommend an ultrasound for a closer look, or a breast MRI may identify an area that needs a targeted ultrasound or biopsy. That doesn’t mean something is wrong—it means each test is providing another piece of the puzzle to help reach the most accurate diagnosis.

There isn’t one “best” imaging test for every woman.

The best imaging plan depends on your age, breast density, symptoms, personal risk, family history, and medical history.

A callback doesn’t automatically mean cancer.

Getting that phone call can be one of the most stressful moments after a mammogram. As a mammographer, I’ve seen the fear on so many women’s faces. I wish every patient knew this:

Most callbacks are not cancer.

In fact:
• About 5–12% of screening mammograms result in a callback for additional imaging.
• Fewer than 1 in 10 women who are called back are ultimately diagnosed with breast cancer.

A callback simply means your radiologist wants a better look before giving you a final answer.

That might mean:
✨ A few additional mammogram images
✨ Compression views to separate overlapping tissue
✨ Magnification views to better evaluate calcifications
✨ An ultrasound for a closer look

Many times, what looked concerning on a screening mammogram turns out to be normal overlapping tissue or another benign finding. That’s exactly why diagnostic imaging exists—to be thorough and provide the most accurate diagnosis possible.

If you’ve ever received a callback, know this:

You are not alone. You deserve answers—not fear.

💗 We have exciting news to share...

Breast Imaging Matters Inc. is officially recognized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization!

This moment represents months of hard work, countless conversations, planning, prayer, and the unwavering support of so many incredible people.

Our mission is simple, but powerful:

🎀 To help identify women at increased risk for breast cancer before their first mammogram through education, personalized risk assessments, navigation, and access to life-saving resources.

As a mammographer, I've seen firsthand where women can fall through the cracks. As the daughter of a breast cancer survivor—and someone who also carries a hereditary cancer gene mutation—this mission is deeply personal.

Receiving our own nonprofit status allows us to expand our impact, pursue grants, build new partnerships, and continue creating solutions that improve breast health in our communities.

A very special thank you to Tulsa Community Foundation for serving as our fiscal sponsor during this first chapter. Their partnership allowed us to begin serving our community while we pursued our own nonprofit status, and we are incredibly grateful for their support.

To every donor, volunteer, healthcare partner, friend, family member, and supporter—thank you for believing in this vision. This milestone belongs to all of us.

This is only the beginning. 💕

Identify. Educate. Empower. Together, we save lives.

Breast cancer doesn’t require an invitation from your family tree.

One of the biggest misconceptions I hear is, “It doesn’t run in my family, so I don’t need to worry.”

While family history can absolutely increase risk, many women diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history at all.

That’s why understanding your personal risk matters. Family history is one piece of the puzzle—but it isn’t the whole picture.

Know your risk. Ask questions. Advocate for yourself.

Because “it doesn’t run in my family” isn’t a screening plan. 💗
