 First DIGITAL Mammogram in Northeast Alabama
 First Siemens Novation®
 Latest DIGITAL Technology in the World Offered at
Advanced Imaging of Gadsden

Advanced Imaging of Gadsden has the latest DIGITAL Mammogram machine made; the only DIGITAL Machine in Northeast Alabama equipped with CAD. Mammograms on this machine require 60% less radiation per exposure, 30 to 40% fewer repeat images and are approximately five to eight times faster that conventional film mammography. A recent government study has found that DIGITAL Mammography is approximately 30% more effective than conventional film at finding cancers in the 65% of women who have dense breast; the Computerized Assisted Diagnosis (CAD) at Advanced Imaging increases accuracy by approximately 25% as well.

Siemens DIGITAL Mammography is faster, less uncomfortable for patients. This means minimal waiting time for patients. This unit has 60% less radiation, with 30-40% fewer retakes, for overall dose reduction of approximately 75%.
