Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women in the United States, with more than 250,000 breast cancers diagnosed each year. The key to effectively treating breast cancer is early detection, and the key to early detection is 3D mammography technology like GE Healthcare’s Senographe Pristina system, now in use at SageWest Lander and SageWest Riverton.
“3D mammography enhances breast cancer detection and diagnosis, but also lessen the chance of false positives,” said Edwin Butler, MD radiologist at SageWest Health Care.
From its elegant lighting and gentle, rounded shapes – to a host of comfort-enhancing features – the GE Pristina system helps ease patient anxiety and reduce the chance of movement, resulting in a better overall exam experience. The system enables excellent visualization, providing an exceptionally sharp and detailed picture for breast cancer detection and diagnosis.
And, to make mammograms even more accessible, SageWest will offer “walk-in” mammography screenings every Wednesday and Friday in July at SageWest Riverton.
- July: SageWest Riverton, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., Wednesdays and Fridays
You can also call 307.857.3463 to schedule a screening.
Breast cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer among women in the United States, second only to skin cancer. Routine breast care is important because early detection of any problem greatly improves your chances of successful treatment. Mammograms are typically recommended annually or every other year for women starting at age 40.
SageWest is now providing the best technology in a comfortable environment – and offering walk-in screenings – to make these essential screenings as accessible as possible.
We want you to be well and live well. That’s why we’re here.
