South Lincoln Medical Center to Offer Digital Mammography

Thanks to the Helmsley Charitable Trust, South Lincoln Medical Center (SLMC), Kemmerer, WY, is on the way to have digital mammography service provided through its facility. SLMC lately received a fund from the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust.

The fund will be used to promote SLMC’s mammography service. A new state-of-art digital mammography unit will be acquired, in addition to upgrading radiology workstations, mammography room and the changing area of patients. Robert Berlin, M.D., Staff Radiologist, SLMC, said "This acquisition is a major enhancement to the services that we offer our patients. Although the new equipment will have a similar appearance to the patient, the quality of the examinations will be superior, with increased sensitivity and decreased radiation dose."

Digital mammography generates significantly clearer images of the breast tissue. The images can be magnified or enhanced, which results in promoting the abilities to identify breast abnormalities, especially breast cancer, much earlier, where the condition can be treated more effectively.
