Mammography
Mammography is a low-powered X-ray technique that gives a picture of the internal structure of the breast. Additional angles and magnified views are taken of suspicious areas.
The digital mammography technology used at MedStar Good Samaritan Hospital helps in the diagnosis of breast problems, including cancer, beyond what traditional film-based mammograms can offer. Digital mammography uses computers and specifically designed equipment to produce an image in seconds. The radiologist can then adjust and enhance the image digitally in order to detect any breast abnormalities.
MedStar Good Samaritan Hospital also uses the MammoPad for each and every mammogram performed. This soft, foam cushion provides a more comfortable experience for patients and allows technologists to capture a better image as well.
