Exuding a warm atmosphere, the centre will provide a spa-like private patient waiting area and individual changing rooms with personal lockable armoires. The centre’s specialty trained mammography team will also engage patients in a “navigation process” helping women through their procedures.
The Women’s Imaging Center will feature the Siemens Mammomat Inspiration Full-Field Digital Mammography, and Siemens MammoTest Stereotactic Breast Biopsy Systems. The Mammomat Inspiration offers digital screening and diagnostic mammography producing excellent image quality using technology designed to minimise the patient’s radiation dose and exposure time. There currently is no other unit of its kind north of Boston.
Financing for the $800,000 project came through the capital campaign conducted by the Jefferson Cary Foundation, the hospital’s fundraising and charitable arm.
