Why doesn’t Hoag provide both screening and diagnostic mammography at all Hoag Imaging Centers in Orange County?
Screening mammography remains the most effective tool in the early detection of breast cancer. Because the majority of women seeking breast imaging services require only a screening mammogram (routine mammogram), Hoag provides multiple screening locations throughout Orange County.
