Southeast Health has clear vision when it comes to the early diagnosing of breast cancer. Southeast Health is the first hospital in Dothan to offer 3D mammography. This cutting edge technology can:
- Detect breast cancers up to 15 months earlier
- Reduce unnecessary callbacks by up to 40 percent
- Find 41 percent more invasive cancers than conventional mammography
How it Works
3D mammography allows doctors to examine your breast tissue layer by layer. So, instead of viewing all of the complexities of your breast tissue in a flat image, as with conventional 2D mammography, fine details are more visible and no longer hidden by the tissue above or below.
What to Expect During Your Exam
The process of this exam is the same as your conventional 2D exam. The technologist will position you, compress your breast, and take images from different angles. There is no additional compression required, and it only requires a few extra seconds to receive a more accurate reading of the breast tissue.
The technologist will view the images of your breasts at the computer workstation to ensure quality images have been captured for review. A radiologist will then examine the images and report results to either your physician or directly to you.
To find out if it is covered by your insurance or to schedule an appointment, please call 793-8006.
A cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming for patients and their families, which is why our patient navigators meet with patients, families and caregivers to:
- Educate patients about their diagnosis.
- Provide a customized resource guide with information about the diagnosis and treatment team.
- Provide emotional support throughout treatment and into survivorship.
Services offered at Southeast Health Women’s Imaging include:
- Screening mammograms (results available in 24 hours)
- Diagnostic mammograms (Should results dictate a need for biopsy, all efforts are made to provide same-day service.)
- Stereotactic breast biopsies

The facility and staff are accredited by the American College of Radiology. All mammography technologists have received mammography certification from the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists.
