Frequently Asked Digital Mammography Questions

Changing the way women think about mammography.

Mammograms are vital to a woman’s health.They enable healthcare providers to detect masses that simply can’t be felt, and by doing so, they’ve saved countless lives through early detection. However, mammograms have never been particularly convenient or comfortable. Women often cite inconvenience as the primary reason for not getting a mammogram.“I simply don’t have time,”they say. Advanced Imaging has changed that with a facility and technology that improve patient comfort,shorten exam times and facilitate healthcare provider consultation.

Twice the resolution in half the time.

Improving exams begins with incorporating the latest technology from GE:full-field Digital Mammography. Advanced Imaging is the only center in Western Montana to offer this amazing new technology. It cuts compression and scan times in half while producing images that are clearer,more detailed and superior in every way to traditional mammography. The result is remarkably short exam times.On average,a mammogram at Advanced Imaging takes just 15 minutes – from the time you park your car until you leave the Center. So much for “I don’t have time to get a mammogram.” The technology also eliminates film. Images are stored digitally and can be accessed virtually by the referring healthcare provider from their offices or laptops. Plus,all mammograms taken at Advanced Imaging are read promptly by local radiologists.
