In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Saint Anthony Hospital unveiled a new state-of-the-art 3-D mammography machine with stereotactic biopsy technology for the hospital’s Mammography Center. The purchase of the machine was made possible through a generous grant from The Coleman Foundation. Guy A, Medaglia, President and CEO of Saint Anthony Hospital, the Saint Anthony Hospital Foundation, and several hospital staff, physicians, community health partners and leaders were on hand for a special dedication of the machine and recognition of The Coleman Foundation for their shared commitment to breast cancer detection and the well-being of the community. The new 3-D technology will be able to capture individual layers of tissue especially in dense breast and does a better job – than 2-D mammography – in detecting cancers. It also allows the medical imaging team to easily identify areas of normal and abnormal tissue within the breast. In 2018, close to 2,500 patients received mammography services at Saint Anthony Hospital. Mammography screening appointments are available at Saint Anthony Hospital Monday through Friday with evening appointments also available. Convenient weekend appointments are also offered on Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. To schedule an appointment, call 773-484-4100.
