Clarity Care offers Kansas City’s most comfortable mammogram and advanced 3D technology, paired with expert radiologists to provide comprehensive breast cancer screening and early detection services. Annual screening mammograms are covered by insurance at 100% and recommended for women 40+, earlier for women at a higher risk.
A mammogram is a specialized medical imaging test that uses low-dose X-rays to examine the breasts. The primary purpose of a mammogram is to detect early signs of breast cancer, often before any symptoms are noticeable. This test is capable of identifying various changes in breast tissue, including unusual growths and areas of abnormal density that might indicate the presence of cancer.
Most health plans cover recommended annual screening mammograms with no out of pocket costs. If you don’t have insurance, Clarity Care can assist Kansas residents with enrollment in the Early Detection Works program, which may cover mammograms and other preventive and follow up care. We also offer affordable cash prices for others without insurance. For more information, please contact us at 913.944.4900.
During a mammogram, you will stand in front of a specialized mammography machine, and a technologist will position your breasts for the x-ray.
The breast is gently compressed with our advanced Comfort Paddle technology. The unique design adapts to the natural shape of the patient’s breast, providing a gentler and more personalized compression. This ensures a better experience while delivering the high-quality imaging you deserve.
The breast is gently compressed with a paddle to even out the breast thickness and ensure clear images.
Low-dose X-rays are employed to take images of the breast from various angles, searching for any abnormal areas that could suggest the presence of cancer.
Images are then sent to and reviewed by our expert radiologists, who are trained to identify signs of breast cancer. Additional images or ultrasound might be suggested based on initial findings.
We review your mammogram images and take any extra views while you’re here. Our radiologist will discuss the results with you before you leave, giving you immediate clarity and reassurance.
