Mammogram
In May 2009, we installed a new and improved digital Mammogram. Mammography is a type of imaging that uses low–dose x-ray for examination of the breast. A mammogram is the best examination for early detection of breast cancer. Screening mammograms are recommended by the American Cancer Society for all women starting at age 40. Thanks to the St. Michael’s Foundation the hospital has installed the Hologic LoRad Mammography unit, in November 2005. It has proved to be a vital addition to our facility, allowing mammograms to be offered every weekday.
St. Michael's Hospital is FDA certified for mammography.
