Headwaters reassures community about its mammography services
May 22, 2013 · 0 Comments
Headwaters Health Care Centre is using the best technology around in its mammography services.
Cancer Care Ontario (CCO) last week announced the findings of a comprehensive study comparing three different types of breast screening technology used in Ontario. The study examined the technology for mammography and found that digital direct radiography (DR) and screen film are significantly more effective than digital computed radiography (CR) at detecting breast cancer.
Patients who come to Headwaters for mammography exams can be confident that they are receiving the highest quality of care with the best technology currently available. Thanks to the support of donors in the community, Headwaters has been providing digital direct radiography (DR) mammography, more specifically Full Field Digital Mammography since 2008, when it first offered mammograms.
Local patients with questions or concerns regarding their mammograms are encouraged to contact Headwaters’ Diagnostic Imaging Department directly at 519-941-2702, ext. 2211.
