Mammography

Mammograms are offered in Decorah, Iowa. During a mammogram, an X-ray image of your breast is used to screen for breast cancer. Digital mammography is provided to detect breast cancer earlier. Having a digital mammogram is similar to having a traditional film mammogram.

However, digital mammography provides additional benefits, such as:

• Immediate availability of the images on the technologist's screen.
• Reducing the need for retakes due to underexposure or overexposure.
• Clearer images for analysis.
• Faster and easier transmission, storage and reproduction of the images.
• Eliminating the dependence on only one set of original films.
