Hospital Services

Women's Imaging

In 2009, MMCH opened its new Women’s Imaging Center. Conveniently located on the first floor of the hospital, the center offers specialized diagnostic services including mammography, pelvic and breast ultrasound and bone density testing.

The décor and setup of the new women’s center has been designed with a woman’s tastes and needs in mind. Knowing that diagnostic tests can create anxiety and stress, the center offers a calming environment complete with relaxing music, comfortable bath robes and artwork taken by local photographers. To provide greater privacy and convenience for women, the center also has its own separate entrance.

New to the women’s center is the addition of digital mammography. A digital mammogram uses compression and x-rays to image the breast, but instead of capturing the image on film (as with traditional mammography), the image is captured to a computer as a digital image.

Physicians benefit from digital mammography because it allows for faster delivery of medical images. Since digital mammograms are stored in computers, they can easily be sent electronically to other health care professionals for analysis.

For women who find out they have an abnormal mammogram, MMCH’s women’s center has a Breast Health Navigator on staff. Donna Sauley, RN, can answer questions and provide support for women who have been told they need a breast biopsy or have breast cancer.
