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 (815) 625-4790 (ext. 6977) - CGH (815) 625-0400 (ext. 5550)
