Dr. Briane Burke Discusses $100 Mammograms on Lowcountry Live

CHARLESTON, S.C. - Nov. 11, 2014 - PRLog -- For the second year, Imaging Specialists will offer mammograms for a $100 self pay rate through the Get Checked program. This is half the price of a digital mammogram, which is significantly less than the local hospital rate.
 The American Cancer Society estimates that 232,570 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in 2014. In addition, they predict that there will be 40,000 deaths due to breast cancer. Mammography is an important tool for early detection.  Says Dr. Brian Burke, "At Imaging Specialists we use digital mammography with special computer aided diagnosis software that can diagnose a cancer that can be hidden."
To obtain the “Get Checked” reduced self pay rate, women will need to have a coupon in hand at time of service. The coupons can be found online at www.imagingsc.com.   Mammography patients get same day results at Imaging Specialists.  States Dr. Burke,"The radiologist reads the films and talks to the patient on the same day."

Imaging Specialists will also handle the transfer of prior mammography films for patients. Patients can request transfer electronically: www.imagingsc.com/records-release-authorization/.Imaging Specialists is a full service, locally owned imaging center that provides digital mammography, ultrasound, x-ray and Breast MRI. “Get Checked” appointments must be made in advance.
