The MammoChecker
The latest state-of-the-art computer equipment available
only at South Jersey Radiology Associates
What
is it?
The MammoChecker is digital technology that assists our Radiologists in the
evaluation of screening mammograms. It is a Computer Aided Detection System
with image analysis identifying areas on a mammogram that may warrant further
review by a Radiologist. The Radiologist then re-examines the original mammogram
for final interpretation and report.
How does it work?
Screening mammogram films are processed through our computer, which identifies
and marks regions with characteristics of cancer
What does it mean to me?
This new digital technology gives you the assurance of having your mammogram
"double read" by the MamoChecker. This provides you with even greater
peace of mind when having your screening mammogram
When will the results of my mammogram be available?
Your mammogram report will be sent to your referring physician after your screening
mammogram is performed and a letter will be sent to you within the week.
SJRA is proud to be the first practice in the Delaware Valley to utilize this
new digital technology to assist our radiologists in the evaluation and interpretation
of mammograms.
