diagnostic imaging Mammography Bartlett’s Mammography Department offers a comfortable atmosphere for patients to receive the best quality care possible. Mammograms are performed by specialized mammography technologists who focus on both the patient’s physical and emotional needs. Screening mammograms are performed to check for breast cancer in women who have no signs or symptoms of the disease. Diagnostic mammograms are used to check for breast cancer after a lump or other sign or symptom of the disease has been found. Early detection of breast cancer with screening mammography means that treatment can be started earlier in the course of the disease, possibly before it has spread. Getting a high- quality screening mammogram and having a clinical breast exam on a regular basis are the most effective ways to detect breast cancer early. Bartlett is committed to providing the highest standards of care for our patients, so we offer: w w Two Selenia full-field digital mammography units. w w A Hologic MultiCare Platinum stereotactic biopsy unit. w w Mammographers who are American Registry of Radiologic Technologists-certified in mammography. w w A facility that is certified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and is American College of Radiology-accredited for mammography.
