Digital Mammography

Digital mammography is the most advanced technology to date for detecting breast cancer. The digital mammography procedure is essentially the same as standard film mammography, but uses a computer and digital image instead of film.

Digital mammograms allow the image to be acquired and displayed immediately, reducing the time that the patient must remain still.

This expedited process provides the patient with a more convenient and comfortable mammogram.

A digital image can be enhanced and altered to be seen more clearly and make a more accurate diagnosis. This image manipulation eliminates the need for a woman to repeat her mammogram if the first image is deemed unusable.
