- Exercise, eating well and being proactive about going to the doctor and scheduling her annual health screenings, Velluto says, are key to maintaining her youthful vitality. Through NSMC’s collaborative breast health program with Massachusetts General Hospital, Velluto was then scheduled to have a follow-up diagnostic examination done at the Breast Health Center at the Mass General/North Shore Center for Outpatient Care in Danvers. Tomosynthesis is a relatively new technology that provides a clearer, more accurate view of the breast than conventional 2-D mammography, enabling us to more effectively pinpoint the size, shape and location of many abnormalities,” says Mansi Saksena, M.B.B.S., the diagnostic breast radiologist who saw Velluto at the Breast Health Center. Catching and treating Florence’s breast cancer early, while it was small and still confined to the breast, led to a great outcome,” says her radiologist Dr. Callahan. “Her case really exemplifies the benefits of annual screenings and being proactive about your health.” The Mass General/North Shore Breast Health Center and the Breast Health Center sites at NSMC Salem Hospital, NSMC Union Hospital, NSMC Women’s Center and Cape Ann Medical Center are accredited by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health Radiology Control Program and the American College of Radiology.

- To get a cost estimate of common health care services, use our patient cost estimator tool. When you see a doctor or other health care provider, you may owe certain out-of-pocket costs, like a copayment, co-insurance, or deductible. You may have other costs or have to pay the entire bill if you see a provider or visit a health care facility that isn't in your health plan's network. For both physician office and hospital outpatient visits, your health insurer may require you to get a referral or authorization.
