About Mammography
Mammography is one of the most important weapons in the fight against breast cancer. Breast cancer will affect about one in eight women and is one of the leading causes of cancer death and morbidity. The key to successful treatment is early detection. Cancer screening must include routine monthly self-examination, annual mammography after the age of 40, annual physical examination by your doctor, as well as other more advanced imaging methods such as Breast MRI or Ultrasound in some cases.
Mammography and comprehensive breast imaging care is a real strength of RMG and RSP. Our quality control standards are meticulous. Continuous innovation and quality improvement in breast imaging has been manifested throughout our history, beginning with former RMG radiologist Dr. David Sales, who introduced mammography in San Diego in 1966.

Most women don't realize how important technical quality is in mammography and how important it is to come to the same provider year in and year out. Comparison of one mammogram to another or comparison of your mammogram to other imaging methods is crucial in detecting breast cancer in many cases.
RMG and RSP mammography is certified by the American College of Radiology and the F.D.A. In addition, our peer review processes and internal rigorous quality control standards are designed to protect your safety and ensure the quality of your exam.
In addition to mammography, we offer the full array of other breast care examinations including breast MRI, breast ultrasound, breast biopsy (ultrasound and MRI guided), Stereotactic breast biopsy, Nuclear breast imaging, and pre-operative hook-wire localization procedures. No other medical imaging practice offers a more complete array of breast care options.
