Promoting early breast cancer detection at Swedish Covenant Hospital

의료용 디스플레이 1분 읽기

When seeking to upgrade their breast imaging display systems, Swedish Covenant clinicians travelled the country to view numerous mammography platforms. It was only when they discovered Barco did they decide to invest in tomosynthesis technology. The 3D imaging capabilities of the Barco Mammo Tomosynthesis 5 MP display systems enhance the clarity of breast details in high-risk women with a single exam, as well as providing advanced imaging for diagnostic purposes.

 
Barco supplied Swedish Covenant with several Mammo Tomosynthesis displays to enable the facility to offer 3D mammography to patients. As the first hospital in downtown Chicago with this capability, Swedish Covenant is making this service available to a socioeconomically diverse population of women who need or desire a higher-level breast screening exam. 

“The Barco Mammo Tomosynthesis display system is producing fantastic results, revealing much more detail in breast images to enable our radiologists to read more quickly and diagnose with greater certainty,” comments Dorothy Lam, Radiologist for Swedish Covenant Hospital. “The calcifications appear very sharp on the Barco monitors. Sometimes, we will proceed to biopsy from a screening mammogram because the images are suspicious enough in this initial exam. This saves a whole step – eliminating the need for a diagnostic exam – conserving both time and resources so we can serve more patients on a daily basis.”
