Digital Mammogram: What you should know
Breast Cancer will affect an average of one 1 in 8 women, sometime in their lifetmie. So clearly, Mammograms play a central part in this early detection of breast cancer.
Unlike other parts of the body, the breast is composed mainly of soft tissue. When breast tissue is x-rayed, it creates an image that looks something like a smoky haze, making it difficult to see tiny "spots", called microcalcifications, and other subtle signs of early cancer.
With digital mammography, our Radiologists reviews electronic images of the breast, using special high-solution monitors. They can adjust the brightness, change contrast, and zoom in for close ups of specific areas of interest (one of the main benefits to all of our digital technology).
An annual mammogram is one of your best defenses against breast cancer.

Hot Topic: Virtual Colonoscopy
This spring, President Obama underwent a complete medical examination, and you may have heard that as a part of his thorough examination, he had a Virtual Colonoscopy to screen for precancerous polyps!
This amazingly new and non-invasive procedure, which uses CT scanning to obtain an interior view of the colon, is now becoming an excellent alternative to traditional optical colonoscopy.

Technology Focus: Low Dose CT (Computed Tomography)
Now, for the first time, a revolutionary platform puts our doctors on the leading edge of CT and positions them at the forefront of diagnostic care with our new Siemens CT Scanner.
This new scanner significantly reduces radiation dose in comparison to other systems available on the CT market.
Our Scanner is rated by Journal of the American Medical Association as using the lowest dose of radiation available nationwide.
