| DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY
Imaging Associates of Providence features
the latest in digital mammography, along with mammographers who
are both experienced and compassionate. Many of our patients have
followed our mammographers to Imaging Associates, knowing they’ll
be treated well — and get all the medical advantages of advanced
digital mammography.
Our clinics are equipped with Lorad Selenia
mammography systems. These offer the best possible images and the
most flexible interactive tools that enable us to work sensitively
and effectively with patients.
Enhanced Clarity. The Selenia
uses selenium based direct capture technology. This eliminates light
diffusion completely for perfect clarity and excellent image quality.
Better Contrast. Selenia
incorporates a patented HTC grid technology that reduces radiation
scatter for better contrast.
Single Exposures. Selenia
features the largest detector available today, imaging almost any
breast without requiring multiple exposures.
Maximum Efficiency. The
Selenia acquisition workstation features an intuitive interface
for our mammographers, allowing us to focus more on the patient
than the machine. The system also allows for direct communications
between workstations, enabling our radiologists to read images immediately
with minimal delays to the patient. And every Selenia image is enhanced
with intelligent processing, which means faster acquisition, fewer
total exposures, and less patient discomfort.
Patient Convenience, Including Our 25 Minute Promise. Your patient will be in and out of her screening mammography appointment in 25 minutes — or less. Same-day appointments are also available, along with easy parking and a comfortable, non-hospital atmosphere that many people find much more relaxing. We also offer “mammogram socials” for groups of five or more women to have their screening mammograms after hours, with wine and hors d’oeuvres. You or your patients can schedule a “social” by calling Cynthia at 301-8951 8951 (in Anchorage) or Sterling at 631-8404 (in the Valley).
