LATEST
TECHNOLOGY - DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY
Neary &
Hunter OBGYN introduces Digital Mammography, with the
Latest Technology, the first to provide this in Worcester,
Massachusetts.
Woman who
undergo routine mammograms at Neary & Hunter OBGYN now
have the latest diagnostic technology available to them,
digital mammography. Neary & Hunter OBGYN is the
first healthcare provider in the greater Worcester
County Region to feature this state-of-the-art system,
Senenia™ digital mammography from HologicŪ.
Neary &
Hunter OBGYN is very excited to be able to offer the
newest technology for breast cancer detection.
Digital mammography is different from conventional
mammography in how the image of the breast is viewed
and, more importantly, manipulated. The
radiologist can magnify the images, increase or decrease
the contrast and invert the black and white values while
reading the images. These features allow the
radiologist to evaluate micro calcifications and focus
on areas of concern.
To
supplement this technology, Neary & Hunter OBGYN
has incorporated digital Computer-Aided Detection (CAD).
Digital CAD highlights characteristics commonly
associated with breast cancer. When activated, it
flags abnormalities to help the radiologist detect early
breast cancer. CAD is, in essence, a second set of
eyes to support and enhance the radiologist's judgement. |
