Southwell held a breast cancer screening awareness event this week, featuring a panel of experts including Dr. Andrew Nackashi, Dr. Kristin Yates Coleman, Judy Weaver, FNP-BC, AGACNP-BC, and Brittany Felthauser, RT(R)(M)(CT). Dr. Nackashi highlighted how important it is for women to receive their screening mammograms, even though new technology may promise a more comfortable experience. "The CT Koning that is now offered in our community is approved for diagnostic screening. This technology is still in the study phase, and it cannot replace a screening mammogram. There is still a risk that it can miss breast cancer.” He further explained, "Although CT Koning carries a risk of missing breast cancer, it can also yield false positives, leading to unnecessary anxiety for patients who must wait to learn that the findings are benign."
