canting
degree
After canting her
medical degree from
Ohio State University, Dr.
Hannah Chung completed
a diagnostic radiology
residency and a nuclear
medicine fellowship at the
University of Utah, and a
breast imaging fellowship at
UCLA. In 2016. she joined
the medical staff at I louston
Methodist San Jacinto
Hospital to serve as medical
director in the hospital's
Breast Care Center.
“I was pretty young when
I first decided to go into the
medical field. 1 applied to
enroll in a BSMD(a bachelor
of science combined with
a medical degree) program
during my senior year
in high school,” Chung
recalls. “I really thought
I'd become a surgeon, but
after mv sister—who is
a breast radiologist-......set
up rotations for me with
a number of different
radiologists. Seeing how
bright these people were and
how excited they were about
what they did changed mv
thinking.”
While general radiologists
read mammograms.
ultrasounds, CT, MR1 and
other x-rays, Chung, who
grew up in Cleveland,
Ohio, chose to specifically
train to read breast imaging
studies. She reads breast
screening mammograms,
detects cancers, and then
makes recommendations
about the best treatment
route for the patient. This
specialization leads to more
accurate diagnosis, fewer
recalls lor additional studies
and improved breast cancer
sun ival rates.
Currently, it is estimated
that 45,000 U.S. women
die from breast cancer each
year and the American
Cancer Society (ACS)
estimates that there will be
over 300,000 new cases of
breast cancer diagnosed in
2017. However, the nearly
three million breast cancer
survivors are a living
testament to the power of
early detection.
Mammograms can detect
signs of cancer much earlier
than a woman conducting
breast self-exams could feel
a lump, making screening
mammography the most
effective way to detect
breast cancer. As a result of
increased annual screening
mammograms, research
indicates that between 1990
and 2013, the breast cancer
mortality rate decreased by
37 percent.
“1 am trained to be a detail-
orientated perfectionist
as well as an excellent
problem solver. Mv
specialization helps me find
breast cancers that might
be otherwise overlooked,”
Chung explains. “1 take a
lol of pride in being able to
perform a task efficiently
and accurately.”
Chung said she takes pride
in knowing that her skills
have a direct impact on her
patients, their families and
loved ones.
“Having a breast imaging
specialist is a huge benefit
to the women of the
community because we arc
able to prov ide a higher
level of care,” she said
Throughout her career,
Chung has had the
opportunity to discuss
opportunities in the medical
field with many aspiring
female doctors and nurses
and she says she feels an
