High quality, progressive imaging services are provided by professional ACR certified digital mammography specialists. Our certified RN Breast Health Specialist provides educational and emotional support as well as case management. Kaweah Delta Imaging Center is home to Visalia's first digital mammography units. A digital mammogram uses a special detector to capture and convert x-ray energy into digital data. The resulting digital images are immediately available to the radiologist for diagnosis and are incredibly flexible. Much like a digital photo, the images can be enhanced, manipulated, and improved by the radiologist, so a digital mammogram can provide more information for diagnosis. Digital technology also offers better visibility of the entire breast. In addition to a more flexible image, the new digital system works with ImageChecker, a computer-aided detection system. The software analyzes the image and highlights areas on the mammogram that contain features associated with cancer-much like a second set of eyes for the radiologist reading the mammogram. In addition, Kaweah Delta's Breast Center offers MammoPad, a new product that dramatically eases the discomfort many women feel with a mammogram.
