EON BREAST | THE UNIFIED SOLUTION

Screening saves lives. But it isn’t enough.

Incidental breast findings carry a significantly higher cancer risk — but most programs aren’t built to manage them. Eon Breast changes that.

An analysis of data from 53 community-based, acute hospitals reveals why a screening-only approach leaves your highest-risk patients undetected.

Patients with incidental findings are fundamentally different.
And clinically urgent.

6.2x

More likely to
be diagnosed

Patients with incidental breast findings are 6.2 times more likely to receive a breast cancer diagnosis compared to routine screening.

1.3x

More likely to
be high-risk at
initial exam

Among patients diagnosed with cancer, 63% of those with incidental findings were high-risk at their initial exam.

>51%

Outside screening
eligibility

More than half of breast cancers found through incidental findings occurred in patients not traditionally eligible for routine screening — too young, too old, or male.

These patients are already in your system.
They’re just not in your breast program.

Breast findings occur in imaging across all modalities, but the structure to complete follow-up care is often missing.

Incidental findings often lack clear ownership

Findings documented in radiology reports are often on patients who had come in for something entirely unrelated to breast care. Without a structured program to capture them, there is no reliable path to ensure those patients received timely follow-up.

Operational burdens put a limit on program capacity

Technologists are stretched thin juggling appointment schedules, patient and provider communications, and MQSA compliance. With workforce shortages and rising demand for services, there is limited bandwidth to manage incidental findings at scale.

Site-by-site silos limit system-wide management

From binders to spreadsheets to disparate mammography platforms, processes and tools vary across facilities. Without cross-site visibility or coordination, compliance and patient retention efforts risk falling short at the enterprise level.

One workflow – centered on the patient – not the entry point.

Eon Breast is the only unified platform that manages both routine mammography screening and incidental breast findings in a single workflow — with Breast Care Navigators augmenting your existing staff.

Scale your impact, not your effort.

Eon Breast ensures every patient with a breast abnormality is identified, followed, and brought to resolution. For Lifepoint Health, this helped drive clinical impact, operational capacity, and program growth.

“As a mammographer, we worry about who’s not returning. Did they get their letter? How do we reach them? Those things just roll through our mind — a lot of times in the middle of the night. With Eon and the Breast Care Navigator team, we share that accountability. It takes a lot of the burden and pressure off your mammographers.”
