Our services and procedures
Our staff utilize the region's leading radiology and diagnostic equipment to offer a wide range of women's services to get you detailed results.
Mammography
Mammography exams – or mammograms – use low-dose X-ray technology to see the inside of the breast. Mammograms are one of the most effective methods for early breast cancer detection.
Women over 40 should get a mammogram each year, unless otherwise instructed by their doctor.
The Indian Path women's center offers 3D mammography, which is more accurate than traditional mammography technology.
- Clearer images
- Greater confidence in the results
- Fewer false positives

Our office welcomes walk-in appointments for screening mammograms daily.
Breast ultrasound
Ultrasounds – or sonograms – use sound waves to produce images of structures within your body.
Breast ultrasounds utilize sonography to look inside the breast.
- Allows your physician to check blood flow and detect abnormalities (such as cysts)
- Often used alongside a mammogram when a change is seen or felt in the breast

Ballad Health offers resources for those living with breast cancer and information about cancer care for women. You can also visit the American Cancer Society website for more resources on breast cancer, such as breast cancer screening guidelines.
Accreditation
All our imaging equipment is accredited by the American College of Radiology (ACR) – highlighting our mission to provide superior imaging services to the women of Sullivan, Scott and Hawkins counties.
Low-dose radiation
Your physician will only ever recommend imaging tests and scans that are necessary for making the most accurate diagnosis possible. We will always use the lowest amount of radiation needed to produce high-quality images. Our Kingsport women's center utilizes equipment that allows us to significantly reduce radiation doses.
All our technologists have taken the Image Wisely pledge to protect our patients by using the safest levels of radiation available.
