The Battelle Breast Care Center is proud to offer digital mammography, the latest in breast cancer diagnostic technology.

The GE Healthcare Senographe Digital Mammography system provides physicians with clear and precise all-digital images, rather than images on X-ray film.

There are many advantages to a digital system:

• As opposed to x-rays, the images are clear and easy to read.
• Digital mammography offers a better view of the breast, especially near the skin line, chest wall and in women with diverse breast tissue types.
• The digital image is ready to read within 10 seconds – there is no longer a wait for films to be developed to be sure the images are usable.
• Digital mammograms take as little as half the time of traditional film mammograms.
• If a second opinion is needed, the image can be sent electronically to a consulting physician virtually instantaneously.

Digital mammography was acquired through donations to the Madison County Hospital Foundation’s Breast Cancer Initiative. Thank you for your generosity!
