Message From Our Director
Thank you for contacting the Howard University Hospital Women's Imaging Center. For the month of October, we are taking the lead in the fight against breast cancer by introducing new 3D mammography technology that vastly improves early detection of abnormalities in denser breast tissue. The Hologic Genius 3D Mammography Smart Curve is designed to provide detailed, high-quality, 3D images, offering patients a more accurate and comfortable mammogram experience.
African American women in the District of Columbia have a much higher
breast cancer incidence and mortality rate, almost two times higher than other ethnic groups. If not properly detected and treated in the early stages, breast cancer can spread to other parts of the body and become potentially fatal. 3D mammography is recommended every year for all women starting at age 40, especially those who have a family history of breast cancer or who may be at a higher risk for developing the disease.
We are extremely excited to unveil this new technology just in time for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which will provide a greater level of care and improve women’s health outcomes in our local community. This lifesaving service is available to you and thousands of women across the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Area. Give us a call at 202-865-3610 to schedule an appointment. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Derek M. Perkins, MPH, RT (R)
