Digital Mammography Services
St. John's Mercy Hospital
offers state-of-the-art digital mammography to detect and diagnose breast disease
in women. All of our technologists are specially trained and certified in mammography.
Digital mammography provides electronic images of the breasts that can be enhanced
by computer technology, stored on computers, and even transmitted electronically.
Mammography does not eliminate
the need for monthly self-breast examinations. St. John's Mercy Hospital encourages
all women to follow the guidelines of the American Cancer Society:
- Perform monthly self-exams
- Regular visits to your
physician, including a breast exam
- Annual mammogram at age
40 or as recommended by your physician.
For more information about
breast cancer and early detection, please call 636-239-8265.
