Early Detection is your best protection against breast cancer
Mammography
Digital Mammography is your strongest new ally in the fight against breast cancer. It uses computers and specially designed digital detectors to produce an image that can be displayed on a high-resolution computer monitor. This results in:
- Better visibility at the skin line
- Greater image flexibility
- Shorter exam times
- More confidence in the results
Preparation for A Digital Mammogram:
All clothing above the waist is removed and you will be given a gown. Do not use any deodorant, powder, perfume, creams or lotions on your under arm or breast area because they leave a residue that may be picked up on the x-ray and possibly interfere with the results.
Breast Ultrasound
Breast ultrasound is the use of medical ultrasonography to perform imaging of the breast. It can be considered either a diagnostic or a screening procedure. It may be used either with or without a mammogram.
