Digital Mammography at MUSC
Computer-based digital mammograms have been proven to be more accurate for more than half the women who get breast cancer screenings, particularly women with dense breasts, women under 50 years of age and women who are pre- or perimenopausal (New England Journal of Medicine, 2005).
One of the most significant features of digital mammography is that it allows radiologists to manipulate images on very high resolution computer screens, eliminating shadows, zooming in on suspicious areas and making other adjustments to enhance image quality. Digital mammography is also remarkably fast, providing crystal clear electronic images in just a few seconds. Learn more about MUSC's recommended mammography guidelines.
Additional benefits include:
- Lower radiation doses, recall rates and biopsy rates
- Reduced time in the mammography suite
- Less likely to be lost (images stored electronically)
- Easy to transfer to other physicians via the Internet
