Digital Mammography

The survival rate for breast cancer patients is now nearly 90%. Early detection using advanced digital mammography has played a role in that success.

Digital mammography:

• Offers improved image quality and clarity versus film mammography
• Is significantly better than film mammography in screening women younger than 50 or women who have dense breast tissue
• Uses less radiation than film mammography
• Allows improvements in image storing and transmission because images can be sent electronically

Mercy offers multiple locations for your mammogram needs including the Women’s Health Center in Lorain. To schedule a digital mammogram at a convenient location for you, please call 440-960-4050.
