Mountain View Hospital, Now Providing Digital Mammography

Mountain View Hospital (MVH) has expanded its health and wellness services available to women with the addition of a new Selenia™ digital mammography system from Hologic^®.

Digital mammography will allow us to provide our patients with the highest quality of care in the prevention and early detection of breast cancer. 

Digital mammography allows the radiologist to view the x-ray image more closely zeroing in on suspicious or concerning areas, enabling them to make immediate decisions about additional images. Digital mammography takes less than half the time of traditional film-based exams and the radiologist may review the images while the patient is in the examination room.

In conjunction with the digital mammography unit, MVH is also offering Computer-Aided Detection. CAD provides a "second read" of the mammogram by a computer. This assists the radiologist in making an accurate diagnosis, like spell check in word processing.

MVH provides a comprehensive scope of services addressing the physical, emotional and educational needs of our clients. Services include screening programs, diagnosis, intervention, treatment, and management of many different diseases of the breast, and educational and support resources, all within the privacy of our newly remodeled location.

Each and every patient at MVH receives personalized care designed to meet her individual needs. Our staff is highly trained and our equipment is state-of-the art. We are committed to providing exceptional care to the women in our community.
