Spring is a season of renewal—a time when many of us begin refreshing our routines, focusing on wellness, and taking care of the things we’ve put off during the winter months. For women in their 40s through 60s, this season presents the perfect opportunity to refocus on preventive health, including essential imaging screenings that support long-term well-being.
Women over 40 are encouraged to begin regular mammography screening to detect breast cancer early—when treatment is most effective. If you haven’t had a mammogram in the last year, spring is a perfect time to schedule one and stay on track with your breast health.
Additionally, if you are in your 50s or 60s, your provider may recommend DEXA scans to monitor bone density and assess your risk for osteoporosis, a condition that disproportionately affects women after menopause.
Many patients rush to book imaging exams in the fall and winter months to meet insurance deadlines, which often leads to longer wait times. Scheduling your screenings in the spring allows for more flexible appointment options—and a smoother, more relaxed experience.
Seasonal symptoms like fatigue, joint stiffness, or persistent sinus pressure can sometimes signal deeper issues. Diagnostic imaging—including sinus CTs or musculoskeletal MRIs—can help identify concerns early, especially when symptoms are brushed off as “just allergies” or “getting older.”
Women in midlife often become more health-conscious—embracing exercise, nutrition, and preventative care. Incorporating routine imaging into this mindset helps ensure a comprehensive approach to health and aging with confidence.
Scheduling your annual mammogram or other imaging exams during the same season each year—such as spring—helps establish a consistent habit that fits naturally into your calendar. Making these appointments part of your spring health ritual makes them easier to remember and prioritize.
If you’re in your 40s, 50s, or 60s and due for your annual imaging, our radiology team is here to provide compassionate, expert care in a comfortable setting. From routine screenings to diagnostic evaluations, we are committed to supporting you at every stage of life.
