Capital Mammography opens

Capital Medical Center has opened Capital Mammography, its state-of-the-art diagnostic center providing digital mammograms.

Located on the Capital Medical Center Campus, the million dollar project provides physicians with clear and precise all-digital images rather than images on X-ray film.  Additionally, the system provides the largest field of view currently available, which can be extremely helpful for precision imaging of patients with diverse shapes and sizes. 

"This is a new and powerful technology for the detection and fight against breast cancer," said Mark Gates, director of Radiology. "Digital systems such as the new Senographe Essential allow us to offer our patients state-of-the-art mammograms that are faster and easier than ever before. And it gives our referring physicians extremely accurate images to use in diagnosis."
