The Breast Center at Portsmouth Regional Hospital brings our breast care services together - mammography, stereotactic, ultrasound and breast MRIs. Our mammography department is fully accredited by the American College of Radiology, our MRI unit performs gadolinium-enhanced breast scans, and we use the stereotactic system, MRI and ultrasound for breast biopsies -- a state-of-the-art, minimally invasive technique for early diagnosis of breast cancer.
Our Breast Center offers two digital mammography units, combined with a Computer-Aided Detection checker that reviews images and provides an additional check for the radiologist. Portsmouth Regional Hospital is the only facility in New Hampshire offering both state-of-the-art technologies, and the addition of a second digital system has made breast care at Portsmouth even more efficient for our patients. Our breast MRI services also feature a computer-aided detection checker from Invivo, called DynaCAD, that provides radiologists with a comprehensive solution for significantly improved workflow and increased diagnostic confidence.
Digital mammography is accurate, fast, and offers greater flexibility and magnification for women with denser breast tissue. Breast images captured by computerization rather than film are clear and easy to read, and can give better visibility, especially near the skin line. The image is ready to read within seconds. Women no longer have to wait while the films are developed to be sure the images are diagnostic, which means the test can take as little as half the time of a film mammogram.
Our Breast Center combines the advanced technology of digital mammography with the warmth and softness of MammoPads, which ease the discomfort that women may experience during mammograms.
