Radiology Department of Digital Mammography

The latest technology in breast imaging, digital mammography, is currently available at the Middlesex Hospital’s Outpatient Center on Saybrook Road in Middletown; and at its Marlborough and Shoreline Medical Centers.
 

What is digital mammography?

Digital mammography is different from conventional mammography in how the image of the breast is viewed. When reading the results of a digital mammogram, the radiologist is better able to manipulate the image to see through the breast more clearly. If there are calcifications, for instance, they can be enhanced or magnified. This aids in determining whether further examinations of suspicious areas are necessary.

Digital mammography feels identical to conventional screening from a patient’s perspective, though women may notice shorter exam times and a reduction in return visits to obtain additional imaging.

Digital mammography is quickly becoming the standard in breast imaging. Mammography is the best tool in early diagnosis, giving patients a much better chance of survival.

What makes the Radiology Department of Digital Mammography at Middlesex Hospital special? 

Our women’s center provides Ultrasound, Bone Density, Mammography and Biopsy in a private suite. We have a dedicated staff who performs over 25, 000 exams yearly.
