OB-GYN ASSOCIATES, P.C. offers State of the Art Digital Mammography

Digital Mammography offers a number of benefits for patients including:

• Higher detection rate of breast cancer in women under 50, pre and peri-menopausal women, and women with dense breast tissue.



• Digital mammograms produce images on a monitor in a matter of seconds. There is no waiting for film to develop or highlight specific areas of the mammogram.



• Reduced need for recalls and additional views - digital images are more versatile and allow radiologists to enlarge or highlight specific areas of the mammogram.



• Digital screenings give patients 25 percent less radiation than conventional mammograms.

Of 50,000 women enrolled in a digital mammography study last year, digital mammograms detected up to 28 percent more cancers in women younger than 50, those who had not yet gone through menopause or those women with dense breasts.
