October 13th is Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day — a day to recognize the people living with advanced breast cancer.

Metastatic breast cancer means the cancer has spread beyond the breast to other parts of the body. It's treatable, but not curable — which is why continued awareness, funding, and research matter every single day, not just in October.

Awareness starts with all of us. Today, we honor those living with metastatic breast cancer and the loved ones supporting them. 🩷

Dense breasts are common—but what does “fibroglandular breast density” on your mammogram report actually mean?

Breast density describes the amount of fibrous and glandular tissue compared with fatty tissue. Higher density can make abnormalities harder to see on a mammogram and may be associated with an increased risk of breast cancer.

Understanding your breast density can help you make informed decisions about your breast health and screening options.

Your mammogram report mentions fibroglandular density. Here's what the four BI-RADS categories mean and why breast density matters.

What is a Physician Assistant? 🤔

A Physician Assistant (PA) is a licensed medical professional who works as part of a healthcare team to provide patient care. In radiology, our PAs evaluate patients, assist with procedures, provide follow-up care and work closely with radiologists to support patients throughout their care journey.

This National Physician Assistant Week, we’re shining a spotlight on the important role our PAs play in delivering compassionate, expert care. 💙

Feeling fine doesn't always mean your arteries agree.

A calcium scoring CT is a quick, non-invasive scan that looks for calcium buildup in your coronary arteries — often years before symptoms like chest pain ever show up. No contrast, no recovery time, and the scan itself takes about 10 minutes.

It's generally useful for men 40+ and women 45+ without heart disease symptoms, especially those with a borderline risk profile, or a family history of heart disease.

Talk to your doctor about whether a calcium scoring CT is right for you ➡️ https://www.raleighrad.com/calcium-scoring-ct-who-needs-one/?ct=1790861342049

A calcium scoring CT checks for plaque buildup in your heart's arteries. Learn what the test measures, who should consider it, and what your score means.
