Advanced Breast Exams and Mammograms
Odessa Regional Medical Center is thrilled to announce that we’ve taken peace of mind to a whole new dimension with double the revolutionary, FDA approved screening and diagnostic breast imaging tools. Double the equipment equals an increase in the amount of mammograms that can be completed in a day. This means less wait times for you, making your mammogram a quick and seamless process.
The Women’s Center at ORMC is dedicated to the prevention and early detection of breast cancer and breast cancer education. Mammograms are the best way to find breast cancer early, when it is easier to treat and before it is big enough to feel or cause symptoms. We offer a warm, inviting setting to take care of your healthcare needs with a variety of services including:
- Diagnostic Mammograms
- Breast Ultrasound
- Stereotactic Breast Biopsies
- Ultrasound Guided Biopsies
Schedule your screening mammogram today by calling 432-582-8500. Experiencing financial hardships? We’re here to help. Ask about our Pink the Basin funds to see if you qualify for a free screening mammogram.
In our newly renovated mammography center, you’ll benefit from sophisticated mammography systems that improve your comfort, require less time and, most of all, enhance image quality to aid in the early detection of breast cancer. ORMC’s state-of-the-art digital mammography system makes this important exam faster and more precise than ever. According to recent studies, digital mammography detects up to 28% more cancers in women 50 and younger and in women with dense breast tissue.
If your mammogram detects an abnormality, we can conduct a biopsy, which is where a small tissue sample is taken to determine if cancer is present. Though the majority of biopsies find no cancer, this minimally invasive procedure is the best way to be sure. Using advanced targeting and guidance technology, this procedure can be performed with pinpoint accuracy. It requires only a small incision and local anesthesia.

Top Tips for Healthy Breasts
Every woman’s experience with her breasts is similarly unique. While one person may have dramatic changes in the appearance and feel of her breasts over time related to menstrual cycle, pregnancy, birth control pills, age and weight changes, others may never be aware of symptoms. It helps to become comfortable with the appearance and feel of your own breasts so that you can be confident when there is a change you want to discuss with your doctor.
