Mammography
OSU Outpatient Imaging Center offers advanced digital mammography. Unlike film-based mammography, digital mammography produces images that appear on the technologist’s monitor in a matter of seconds. There is no waiting for film to develop, which can mean a shorter time spent in the breast imaging suite.
Other advantages of digital mammography over traditional film-based
mammography include:
- Radiologist can manipulate image to zoom in to
look at specific area
- Need for retakes due to over or under exposure
is reduced
- Digital images can easily be transmitted over
a network
