The Villages / Lady Lake-Community Breast Ultrasound Screening

Take a proactive step in breast health with a community ultrasound screening at Key Health & Wellness. Adding ultrasound to a regular breast care routine is a form of smart prevention. Ultrasound can help detect cancers that may not be found by mammography or a physical exam, and for those with dense breast tissue it may increase detection rates from about 48 percent to as high as 97 percent. Screenings are designed to be quick and accessible. The exam is painless, uses no radiation, and is safe for individuals with implants. Each appointment includes an ultrasound of both breasts and the underarm area, plus a radiologist’s reading, all for $295, valued up to $1,100. No prescription is required.
