Breast health is more important than ever, and one of the region’s most advanced breast imaging centers has made tremendous strides to serve our entire community. Connecticut Breast Imaging, which recently changed its name from Connecticut Women’s Imaging, is known for its world-class doctors and advanced technology, and for providing the full spectrum of breast imaging techniques and diagnostics. While this remains the case, an important shift is underway.  

Dr. Madhavi Raghu, Medical Director of Breast Imaging, enthusiastically explains, "We're creating a new model in this field – one that actively fosters an ongoing doctor/patient relationship based on trust and care. Our specialized radiologists are all deeply committed to this and to ensuring every patient has access to the highest quality mammogram services at affordable prices.” Why the name change? Dr. Raghu commented, "Our new name reflects our long-standing commitment to providing highly personalized care to everyone, including men and the LGTBQ+ community. We take pride not just in our medical excellence, but in the compassionate way we treat every single one of our patients.”  

Expert Screening and Diagnostics are Just Around the Corner  

Connecticut Breast Imaging offers state-of-the-art Tomosynthesis (referred to as 3D mammography) in a caring and relaxed environment not often found in traditional hospital settings. The practice’s radiologists are subspecialty-trained in breast imaging and are focused on unsurpassed diagnostics, interpretation, and dedication to each and every patient. The practice offers three easily accessible locations in Danbury and provides a truly safe and compassionate environment along with the most advanced radiological care available today.  

Now Is The Time To Get A Mammogram!  

However, breast health is more than just having the technology available -- it’s about staying on top of scheduling your screening. At the onset of COVID-19, screening mammography was put on hold to help decrease the spread of the virus. One unfortunate consequence of this has been a substantial decrease in the detection of early-stage cancers. There is no better time than the present for patients to resume their annual screening. Multiple studies have consistently demonstrated that screening mammography saves lives, and routine yearly screenings are critical in detecting early-stage breast cancer. 

So, Be Proactive, Raise Awareness, and Start a Conversation  

Spread the word and help raise awareness for the critical need for early breast cancer detection by asking friends and family if they’ve had their annual breast exams. People need that reminder, or may even need help making an appointment. Others may be afraid of mammograms and might not have had one in years, or ever! Start a conversation. The earlier breast cancer is detected the better.  

Covid Safety Measures are in Place  

At Connecticut Breast Imaging, the team has implemented robust and thoughtful protocols to protect patients. The team practices in-office social distancing, requires staff and patients to wear masks, thoroughly sanitizes all equipment after every patient, and follows all mandatory guidelines. Patients can rest assured that safety is of utmost importance to everyone.  

New Name, Compassionate Care  

So, with Connecticut Breast Imaging as the new name, patients can be confident that the practice is prepared to care for the breast health of all patients: male, female, and LGTBQ+, with the same continuing care, from their first scan to their last treatment. Physicians, technologists and staff empathize with the fear and anxiety that many patients have, and the team is ready to support patients every step of the way.
