State-of-the-Art-Digital Mammography System
The Springfield Regional Imaging Center is pleased to offer the state-of-the-art digital mammography system from Siemen Medical Solutions called MAMMOMAT® Novation. Our digital mammography units are accredited by the American College of Radiology. 
The Benefits of Digital Mammography
- Up to 50% less radiation dose over standard film mammography
- Fewer callbacks or retakes for additional images because images can be enhanced with the computer
- Less time may be needed because the results are seen more quickly - so that means less anxiety and discomfort for you
- The doctor can electronically manipulate images with digital mammograms for a more accurate diagnosis
- The potential for more efficient access to mammograms is possible because digital mammograms can be electronically transmitted to another physician for viewing or printing
