Digital Mammography


A mammogram is a very low dose x-ray of the breast using specialized equipment and technologists. This technique provides the sharpest images of the inner structures of the breast and has been developed to detect small cancers of the breast before they can be felt on physical examination. This early detection of breast cancer saves lives. The quality of mammograms has improved vastly during the last 10 years. However, because mammograms are not 100% accurate, it is important that women also perform monthly breast self-examinations and have a yearly physical examination of their breasts by a physician.

Medical Arts Radiology is proud to introduce Digital Mammography in its new state-of-the-art Women’s Imaging Center in Bay Shore. The new Lorad Selenia system incorporates revolutionary imaging technology that provides incredibly sharp images. Medical Arts Radiology is one the first installations incorporating this cutting edge technology in the United States.

The technology is remarkable because the radiologist can view and manipulate the images on high-resolution computer monitors that enhance visualization of the structures within the breast tissue. The radiologist can also adjust brightness and contrast, and zoom in on specific areas to help detect small calcifications, masses, and other changes that may be signs of early cancer. Compared with standard mammograms, which are recorded on film, computer-based digital mammograms are more accurate, especially in younger women with dense breast tissue, those under 50 and those who are premenopausal. This remarkable technology assures that we can provide the best possible care and diagnosis to women.

Each radiologist who participates in breast disease evaluation has received extensive education in this area and participates in intensive continuing medical education on a regular basis. Our technologists are highly dedicated, sensitive professionals, all of whom have received additional certification and training in breast imaging. Mammography services and exams are all certified by the American College of Radiology and the FDA.
