Imagine a world where breast cancer is a thing of the past. At the McMahon Center of Breast Health, we’re working towards that future. Our advanced digital mammography technology can detect breast cancer early, giving you the best chance for a successful outcome. This state-of-the-art technology provides several advantages over traditional film mammography.
What is Digital Mammography?
Digital mammography is a type of X-ray that uses digital technology to capture images of your breast. These images are clearer and easier for doctors to read, which can help them find problems sooner. Digital mammography is often more accurate than traditional film mammograms, especially in women with dense breast tissue or those younger than 50.
Benefits of Digital Mammography
There are several benefits to digital mammography over traditional film mammography:
Clearer Pictures: Our digital mammograms are easier to see, allowing doctors to detect abnormalities more accurately.
Lower Radiation Dose: We use less radiation than traditional mammograms, reducing your exposure to harmful rays.
Faster Results: You’ll receive your results sooner, allowing for quicker diagnosis and treatment if necessary.
More Comfortable: Digital mammograms are often more comfortable than traditional mammograms, requiring less compression of the breast tissue.
