How can SCCH Radiology help you?
Digital Mammography at SCCH

Digital Mammography is just one SCCH Radiology Department service that provides the highest quality, most technologically advanced healthcare possible to area patients. It offers a number of advantages over traditional mammograms. A digital mammogram delivers computer images that can be electronically enhanced by the radiologist, enabling the doctor to zoom in, magnify, and optimize different parts of the breast tissue using just four standard pictures. Readability and interpretation of the images are enhanced, so the physician can focus on areas of concern. In addition, these digital images can be stored on the computer and transferred throughout the patient’s care network.

Digital mammograms are generally recommended for women with dense breast tissue, breast implants, or for those who have had abnormalities in the past. Women in the Sullivan County area will no longer require referral to facilities outside of the county for their annual mammogram. Now, they can receive up-to-date imaging in a comfortable environment, close to their home and workplace.

A digital mammography exam generally takes about half the time of traditional mammograms, and there is less chance of being called back to retake images.

To schedule an appointment for a digital mammogram, please call (812) 268-4311, ext 2281.
