“Dominican Hospital is proud to partner with the Dominican Breast Center to provide state-of-the-art breast care, right here in our community,” said Dominican Hospital President Nanette Mickiewicz, MD. “With this technology, we are offering our patients both excellence and convenience — we deliver the most advanced technology available for breast cancer detection and spare local patients from traveling to facilities outside of our area.”
Tomosynthesis is a particular advantage for the 40 percent of women with dense breast tissue. It can find small cancers and better define larger tumors that may be obscured by dense tissue on conventional 2-D mammograms.
The Dominican Breast Center has been designated a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology (ACR).
