• Increased detection rates -The excellent image quality helps increase cancer detection by allowing the physician to better visualize small and/or low contrast lesions.

• ICAD - (Computer Aided Diagnosis) All of the mammography films are reviewed by a dedicated computer system. This computer places markers on the images where the Radiologist should take a second look. It is similar to having a second physician review each patient’s films.

• Better than film-screen mammography - Study done by the National Cancer Institute proved that Digital Mammography was significantly better for patients with dense breasts.

• Decreased radiation exposure - 60% less than normal film screen mammograms.

• Decreased repeat exposure - the Novation Mammography Unit allows the images to be enhanced by various levels of brightness and contrast to improve visualization.

• Decreased discomfort - The Novation mammography unit has special flex paddles which allow for a more comfortable compression.

• Decreased anxiety - The Technologist is with the patient through out the exam. There is no need for them to leave the room to check their images.
