Getting a mammography regularly is important to maintain good health. This non-invasive test can help your Physician evaluate changes in your breasts and can help them detect changes that your Physician cannot feel.
A mammography is recommended annually for women age 50 and over.
The American Cancer Society recommends annual mammograms for women age 40-50
The National Cancer Institute recommends that this age group get a mammogram every 1-2 years
Your Physician may recommend getting a mammogram before the age of 40 or more regularly if you have a family history of breast cancer or other types of cancer, or show physical symptoms of breast cancer such as lumps, breast pain, skin dimpling and nipple discharge.
Barton Memorial Hospital's Mammography Department is equiped with Mammopad. This new technology provides the following:
Mammopad Technology creates a softer, warmer mammogram
Digital Mammography:
Barton HealthCare System has installed new digital mammography systems at Stateline Medical Clinic and Barton Memorial Hospital that can help shorten exam times and provide physicians with vital diagnostic information.
The Mammomat® NovationDR, from Siemens Medical Solutions, captures breast images with a special x-ray detector that converts images into digital pictures that can be displayed immediately on the system’s computer monitor.
Finding cancer
Unlike film, digital mammograms allow physicians to manipulate image characteristics such as magnification, orientation, brightness and contrast, which improve the ability to view specific areas of the breast. With the digital Mammomat Novation system, results are produced more quickly, helping to decrease both anxiety and discomfort for women while also reducing radiation exposure.
Digital mammography provides physicians with the advantage of being able to manipulate and share breast images for consultation, helping to facilitate diagnoses.
