Imaging for Women: A Milestone Anniversary of Patient Care

By  0 Comments

Imaging for Women is excited to celebrate 25 years of raising the standards of breast care. Allison Zupon, MD, and Troy Voeltz, MD, prioritize compassionate patient care with state-of-the-art imaging technology. “The work we do as radiologists makes a big impact on patients and we focus entirely on patient care,” Dr. Zupon says. “We read all imaging results and conduct follow-up diagnostics on the same day so patients never have to wait. We’re passionate about making the experience as easy as possible.”

“Early detection is key” is a mantra every woman knows. With regular screening visits, radiologists have the best chance to catch abnormalities early, ensuring less invasive treatments. “A painful mammogram is a thing of the past at our center. We’ve changed the experience entirely with patient-controlled technology,” Dr. Voeltz explains. “It’s a significant investment for the practice, but we gladly absorb that to provide a better exam. That ensures women come back every year, which is the biggest benefit for patients.” Imaging for Women is the only breast center in Kansas City to offer Contrast Enhanced Spectral Mammography, a new type of mammogram for women with an increased risk of breast cancer. CESM finds cancers at a rate comparable to MRI and is quicker and less expensive for patients.

In addition to investing in the latest technology, Dr. Zupon and Dr. Voeltz are committed to investing in the community. Imaging for Women has donated over $4.5 million in free care since opening in 1997. They work directly with Northland Healthcare Access and BraCouture KC to help those in need throughout the greater Kansas City area. Their Special Services Program is aimed at keeping care affordable and accessible to patients who are uninsured. 

Imaging for Women opened in 1997 and was Kansas City’s first free-standing imaging center dedicated to women’s health. Dr. Voeltz and Dr. Zupon continue to lead the practice in specialized breast care, offering several different imaging tools tailored to the patient’s individual risk, including 3D and contrast mammography, whole breast ultrasound and image-guided breast biopsies. Patients experience more comfortable exams in a relaxing atmosphere.

Imaging for Women looks forward to providing the best care possible for years to come.
