Your Mammogram Can Now Reveal More About Your Heart Health

InterMountain Medical Clinic is proud to offer Breast Arterial Calcifications (BAC) screening using cmAngio® by CureMetrix®, an FDA-cleared, AI-based technology that analyzes your mammogram for signs of arterial calcification in the breast.

With this advanced screening, patients can now receive two important health insights from one mammogram — breast health screening and information that may be relevant to cardiovascular health — with no additional imaging, radiation, or appointment time required.


Understanding BAC

Breast Arterial Calcifications (BAC) are calcium deposits that can appear in the arteries of the breast and are sometimes visible on mammograms. Based on current research, BAC is considered a benign incidental finding and is not associated with breast cancer.

However, growing evidence suggests that the presence of BAC may be associated with other vascular calcifications and broader cardiovascular health indicators. Identifying BAC may help providers determine whether additional evaluation of overall health is appropriate.


Advanced AI Technology — No Extra Steps for Patients

cmAngio® by CureMetrix® is FDA-cleared artificial intelligence software that reads standard mammograms to detect the presence, absence, and location of breast arterial calcifications.

✔️ No additional mammogram views
✔️ No additional radiation exposure
✔️ No added appointment time
✔️ No change to your mammogram experience

Your mammogram images are simply analyzed with this additional technology after your exam.

A Valuable Insight at Any Age

By incorporating BAC screening into routine mammography, providers can monitor progression or stabilization of breast arterial calcifications over time. This ongoing assessment may offer valuable insight into cardiovascular risk factors and overall health status, making BAC screening beneficial for patients of any age undergoing mammography.

Is BAC Screening Covered by Insurance?

Like many new healthcare technologies, cmAngio® is not currently covered by insurance. However:

  • The out-of-pocket cost is $75

  • Patients may use HSA or FSA funds to pay

This added screening is optional and designed to provide additional health information without altering your standard mammogram.


A Step Forward in Preventive Care

At InterMountain Medical Clinic, we are committed to providing the highest quality, forward-thinking care for our patients. Integrating BAC screening into mammography represents an important step toward more comprehensive preventive health — especially for women’s cardiovascular awareness.

Our goal is to empower patients and providers with meaningful information that supports proactive, whole-person care.
