ARC has expanded mammogram access at ARC Far West with the addition of a second mammography machine and a new suite for 2D and 3D mammography screenings, doubling the number of appointments that are available.
Currently, the mammography suites are open weekdays and after hours on Thursday evenings and Saturdays. On April 14, we'll expand evening and weekend appointments at ARC Far West to the hours below:
- Monday-Thursday evenings, 5:00pm - 8:30pm
- Saturday, 8:00am - 4:30pm
Mammograms are currently available at ARC Far West, ARC South 1st, and ARC Center Street in Kyle, with a fourth location at ARC Cedar Park-Building C planned for later this year.
In addition to mammography, the three current locations also offer osteoporosis/bone density screenings for early detection of low bone mass, with an option for a DEXA body composition scan. Bone density screenings can be booked separately or at the same time as a mammogram.
"We are very excited to now have two mammography machines, a new suite, expanded hours, and more techs to be able to offer more and easier access to patients," said the ARC Radiology Services Manager.
Mammograms can be booked through MyChart, online, or by calling 512-346-6611.
