Screening and Diagnostic Digital Mammography

A mammogram is an imaging examination of the breast performed to detect breast cancer, often before any signs or symptoms of the disease are present. This procedure is recommended annually for women over the age of 40, or those with an increased risk of developing breast cancer

Recent technological advances now allow mammograms to be performed digitally, rather than on film, using techniques similar to those used in a digital camera. The procedure remains the same for the patient, except that the results can be reviewed by your doctor immediately after the procedure on a computer screen.

At East River Medical Imaging, we are proud to offer patients the most advanced digital mammography services available with the Senographe® DS system from GE Healthcare. This device uses cutting-edge technology to help detect and diagnose breast cancer and other abnormalities in their earliest stages. Early detection is an essential factor in achieving successful treatment for breast cancer and any other related conditions.

Digital mammography with the Senographe DS system is a quick, painless procedure that helps patients remain informed and up-to-date about their risk of breast cancer. This procedure can be performed on men and women alike and screens the entire area of breast tissue in half the time of a traditional film-based mammogram. Anyone at an increased risk of developing breast cancer should be screened on a regular basis with our advanced equipment for the most precise, detailed results.
