mammograph

Each mammograph must be read independently by two radiologists.

The presence of radiologically opaque breast implants might interfere with the radiographic sensitivity of the mammograph.

The photograph of her, taken whilst having a mammograph done, exemplifies her vulnerability, as semi-naked, she literally has to place her body under the control and scrutiny of this machine.

Only when the attending physician reads at least 5 000 mammograph screenings per year does he acquire enough training and experience to recognise breast cancer when it is between five and seven millimetres.

They would provide women with a guarantee that their radiologist carries out only breast X-ray examinations and that he reads about 5 000 mammograph screenings a year, which enables him to evaluate them with an experienced eye.

Donald W. Davis, president of the Northern Westchester Hospital Center, said the $70,000 most recently presented to the hospital by Twig-Thriftree will be used for equipment for a new mammograph unit in the hospital.
