DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY AT HRRMC
Introducing the new full-field DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY unit at HRRMC—the most advanced diagnostic tool in the fight against breast cancer.

Advantages of Digital Mammography

Shorter exam time, with no film to develop

Images stored and sent electronically

Superior image quality—contrast can be adjusted and sections enlarged

Reduces need for retakes and lessens patient’s exposure to radiation

Better at screening women under 50 or with dense tissue

No need to go to the Front Range for your digital mammogram.
To make an appointment—with a doctor’s referral—call 719-530-2202.
