Digital Mammography
The Sterling Rock Falls
Clinic and CGH Medical Center are pleased to announce the
latest in digital mammography technology is now available
right here in Sterling! With the installation of Fuji's
Computed Radiography for Mammography (FCRm) system, we are
proud to be among the first in the region to offer this
digital mammography capability. "We are very pleased that
women of the Sauk Valley will now have access to the very
latest state-of-the-art technology when getting their
mammograms," says Dr. Jeffrey LeMay, OB/Gyn Department.
The procedure for a digital mammogram is the same as
for a conventional film mammogram; however, the images are
available almost immediately, and can be readily transferred
to a CD. They can be electronically viewed, transmitted and
stored. The images are easily enlarged and enhanced to aid in
review. According to Dr. Thomas McGlone, Surgeon, "The digital
images will improve care and decrease the number of repeat
films needed for our breast care patients. The quality of the
images is remarkable when compared with previous methods of
breast cancer screening. The mammograms are easily viewed in
the exam room at the time of patient consultation, in surgery
or for comparison with previous films".
According to
the American Cancer Society, 96 percent of women who find and
treat breast cancer early will be cancer-free after five
years. Call today to schedule your digital mammogram: SRFC
