Because early detection of cancer is known to save lives, yearly mammograms for women ages 40 and over are essential.

Our highly qualified technologists and radiologists stay current with the latest information regarding treatment and education.
This procedure is offered at Outpatient Imaging Services at Cartersville Medical Center
