Digital Mammography with Computer-Aided Detection
Faster exams. Instant results. Improved outcomes.
Finding breast cancer at the earliest possible stage, when it is most treatable, has saved countless lives. That is why Sitron-Hammel Radiology has invested in the most sophisticated breast imaging technology available today, Digital Mammography with Computer-Aided Detection.
With Digital Mammography, images are immediately available, and can be electronically manipulated, allowing the physician to magnify different parts of the breast tissue without obtaining additional images. The exams are usually faster and less stressful for the patient, and recent studies have shown that Digital Mammography is significantly better in screening women under 50. Click Here to learn more.
Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) makes mammography an even more powerful tool, as the computer evaluates each view of the mammogram to scan for areas that may be troublesome and should receive closer attention. As a result, studies have shown that CAD detects early malignancies 10 to 20% more often than unaided methods. That is a huge advantage in the fight against breast cancer. |
