Union Hospital Clinton recently announced that it now provides the latest in mammography screening technology.

Selenia digital mammography incorporates revolutionary imaging technology that provides incredibly sharp breast images. The images appear on the technologists monitor in a matter of seconds eliminating the need to develop film meaning shorter exam time for patients.

UHC center is a certified Pink Ribbon Facility, a distinction awarded only to an elite group of healthcare facilities. By offering women digital mammograms, the center hopes to increase the number of area women who follow recommendations for regular screenings.

"We are committed to the fight against breast cancer and to the health of women in our community," said UHC Administrator Terri Hill. "This cutting-edge technology gives our patients the advantage of a more accurate detection of breast cancer in women who have dense breast tissue."

Digital mammography offers a number of practical advantages and patient conveniences. Because there is no waiting time for film to be developed, it significantly reduces the need for repeat exams due to under or over exposure. Digital images are easily stored and transferred electronically, eliminating the dependency on one set of original films, which can be misfiled or lost in transit.
