Women's Center

There are some medical examinations that are typically performed only for women. The Women’s Center at Advanced Medical Imaging provides a private, warm and personal environment for patients. From the inviting waiting area to large changing rooms, we’ve made women’s needs a priority.

Our mammography equipment features the innovative Easy Compression System, which uses bi-directional compression to image all possible breast tissue and maximize patient comfort.

One of the complaints heard from women is the discomfort they sometimes feel while getting a mammogram. The plate can be cold or the pressure felt can be uncomfortable. Advanced Medical Imaging has the foam backed “mammopad” available for increased patient comfort. At your request, the cushioned pad is placed between the breast and the metal plate on the mammography equipment. While adding warmth and cushion, the mammopad does not compromise the quality of the breast image.

Advanced Medical Imaging also utilizes The Second Look System. This CAD (computer aided detection) system helps the radiologist provide better screening for breast cancer. Second Look gives you the benefits of a second opinion without any additional doctor’s appointments. It is simply part of the mammography reading process by our radiologists. Each film is run through a computer scanner. The computer then marks areas that may be of interest for the radiologist to evaluate.

The most unique feature about our Women’s Center is that we provide results while you wait. Once your mammogram pictures are taken, they are developed, run through CAD and then shown to a radiologist, all before you leave Advanced Medical Imaging. If there is a need for additional images or an ultrasound, it can usually be performed on the same day!

Mammography is the best way to detect breast cancer in its earliest, most treatable stage. Early detection is an important key in staying healthy.
