Women’s Services

Roane Medical Center provides mammography screenings and breast ultrasounds to detect changes in breast tissue that are difficult to feel by hand. 

Our mammography unit is digital, using the latest mammogram technology to obtain clearer images for proper diagnosis.

The design of the new equipment we use significantly enhances comfort for women receiving breast cancer screenings and diagnosis. 

The new technology we utilize cuts your scan time in half, allowing you to be seen more quickly, and for your overall appointment time to be reduced. It also provides enhanced images for our physicians and technologists. 

Roane Medical Center is recognized by the American College of Radiology as a Mammography Accredited Facility. 

Roane Medical Center offers 3D mammography services in our convenient Harriman, TN location. 

This cutting-edge imaging process allows the radiologist to see around and between breast tissue (including dense breast tissue) to better detect smaller cancers. 

Our Digital Mammography Unit is accredited by the American College of Radiology and certified by the Food and Drug Administration.

If cancer cells are detected during your screening exam, your physician may choose to perform stereotactic biopsies. 

A stereotactic breast biopsy requires a specialized mammography machine that helps guide the radiologist’s instruments to the abnormal growth site.

At Roane Medical Center, our expert team is available to provide you this important service if necessary. 

For women, the aging process can mean loss of bone density. This can lead to many health and wellness issues that can impact your life. 

Roane Medical Center utilizes advanced bone densitometer equipment to detect subtle bone changes, which might indicate the beginnings of osteoporosis. 

The diagnostic information provided through this advanced method is faster and more accurate than older procedures. This is even more vital at a time when medical specialists are discovering new treatments that may help patients regenerate bone mass, and even partially reverse the effects of osteoporosis. 

Our advanced bone density testing technology can also help detect advanced hip and vertebral problems.
