Why BAC Matters

During a routine mammogram, an advanced AI tool can detect Breast Arterial Calcification (BAC)—calcium deposits that may be an early indicator of heart disease.

Identifying BAC provides valuable insight into cardiovascular health, giving women and their providers an opportunity to take proactive steps toward prevention and early intervention.

At Desert Radiology, Mammo Enhance Heart empowers women with a more complete picture of their health—because protecting your heart is just as important as protecting your breast health.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death in women despite significant advances in diagnostics and treatments. Breast Arterial Calcification (BAC) is a calcium build up in the arteries of the breast, which has been linked to an increased risk for CVD in women.

12–42% Of women have BAC—most don’t know it.

Early detection of BAC can lead to preventive strategies, including lifestyle changes or medical intervention to manage risk factors.
