Should you have a breast cancer diagnosis,
the Houston Methodist San Jacinto team will
walk alongside you through every step of
your journey.
The 3-D mammography via tomosynthesis provides
clearer images and more accuracy in cancer
diagnosis than traditional mammograms. There is
no increase in radiation dose from the 2-D mammogram,
so patients are not exposed to more radiation.
Houston Methodist
San Jacinto now offers
3-D mammograms
using the lowest
radiation dose available
Women ages 40 and older should undergo a mammogram annually.
The Houston Methodist Breast Care Center provides women
the most advanced options for breast health - right here
in your community - and partners with you to help
improve chances for early detection.

Hannah Chung completed
a diagnostic radiology
residency and a nuclear
medicine fellowship at the
University of Utah, and a
breast imaging fellowship at
UCLA. In 2016, she joined

Methodist San Jacinto
Hospital to serve as medical
director in the hospital's

“I was pretty young when

of science combined with
a medical degree) program
during my senior year
in high school,” Chung
recalls. “I really thought
I'd become a surgeon, but
after my sister—who is
a breast radiologist—set
up rotations for me with
a number of different
radiologists. Seeing how
bright these people were and signs of cancer much
how excited they were about
what they did changed my
thinking.”
