Sanford Jackson & Lakefield
Sanford Breast Health Institute, in conjunction with Sanford Jackson Medical CenterDigital mammography is the latest technology in the fight against breast cancer. This front line technology uses a powerful computer to create superior, high quality images of the breast – increasing the physician’s ability to detect cancer earlier when it is most treatable.
“Mobile digital mammography will bring state-of-the-art services to women who would otherwise have limited or no access,” said Julie Hanisch, Sanford Breast Health Clinic Director. Recent studies have proven digital mammography to be better for detecting lesions in the breast, especially for women with dense breast tissue, women who are under 50 and both pre-menopausal and perimenopausal women. "By combining the region's best state-of-the-art equipment with the region's most dedicated and compassionate breast care team, we will provide our patients the best chance of early detection of breast cancer," added Hanisch.
