At Mary Lanning Healthcare, not only can our digital mammography save more lives, it also makes getting a mammogram faster, easier and more comfortable than ever before. We have warmed robes and use special soft pads to create a warmer, softer surface between the woman and the mammography machine. All of the female technologists performing mammography have advanced certification by the American Association of Registered Technologists. The center is fully accredited by the American College of Radiology.
Digital mammography takes an electronic image of the breast and stores it directly in a computer. Digital mammography uses less radiation than film mammography. In addition, this imaging technique has reduced image artifacts. Because of the digital acquisition and processing, digital mammography allows for fewer repeat images. It also allows improvement in image storage and transmission because images can be stored and sent electronically.
