The very latest in digital mammography now available at North Memorial

This latest technology for breast cancer screening produces digital images that can be far more accurate for some women.

Digital images may be better for women who:

  • Are younger than 50,
  • Are pre-or peri-menopausal,
  • Have very dense breast tissue.

About one-half of all women undergoing mammography fall into these categories. Resulting images are evaluated by a radiologist who can analyze the mammograms using computer-aided technology. The images can be modified using magnification and contrast enhancement for better visualization. In addition, the digital files allow mammograms to be electronically transmitted to another physician or location.

Digital mammography is a valuable addition to North Memorial's full range of diagnostic breast imaging services.
