Your Mammogram, Enhanced with TC Score at Steinberg Diagnostic Medical Imaging—Because Peace of Mind Shouldn’t Cost You More

At Steinberg Diagnostic Medical Imaging (SDMI), we believe knowledge is powerful—especially when it comes to your health. That’s why we go a step beyond a standard screening mammogram by including a free breast cancer risk assessment with every exam.

This tool is called the Tyrer-Cuzick Score, or TC Score for short—and it’s changing the way women understand their breast health.

What Is the TC Score?

The TC Score is a risk calculator that gives you a personalized estimate of your chances of developing breast cancer in the future. It looks at your unique health history—not just general statistics—to help you and your doctor make informed decisions.

It’s not a diagnosis, but it offers important insight that can guide your care and help you feel more confident about your health choices.

How Does It Work?

Getting your TC Score is easy and doesn’t require any extra testing. It’s calculated using a short questionnaire you fill out before your mammogram. The questions cover things like:

- Your age

- Your family history of breast or ovarian cancer

- Any previous breast conditions or biopsies

- Hormone therapy use

- Whether you carry certain genetic markers (like BRCA1 orBRCA2)

Using this information, we estimate your 10-year and lifetime risk of developing breast cancer. Your care team can then tailor your screening plan, which may include earlier or more frequent mammograms—or even additional imaging like a breast MRI.

Why Is This Important?

Understanding your risk level gives you a chance to take charge of your health. Here’s why the TC Score matters:

1. It’s Just for You - The TC Score is based on your personal health details, making it more accurate than general statistics.

2. It Helps Catch Cancer Early - If you’re at higher risk, your doctor may recommend extra screening—giving you the best chance at early detection, when treatment is most effective.

3. It Opens the Door to Prevention - Knowing your risk can lead to helpful conversations with your doctor about lifestyle changes, genetic counseling, or preventive care options.

What It’s Not

The TC Score doesn’t tell you whether you have breast cancer—and it can’t say for sure if you’ll get it. It’s simply one tool among many that helps your doctor create a plan that’s right for you.

You Deserve This Level of Care

At SDMI, we believe every woman deserves high-quality, compassionate care. That’s why we include the TC Score at no extra cost—because peace of mind should never come with a price tag.
