Breast Center

The Breast Center is located in the Morristown Regional Diagnostic Center, directly across from the hospital, at 901 West Fourth North Street. The Breast Center has a separate, designated, "Women Only" waiting room to ensure the utmost privacy during your visit.

Digital Mammography

Newly purchased Hologic Selenia Digital Mammography system offers highest quality images available for mammography. Digital mammography takes an electronic image of the breast and stores it directly in a computer, allowing the recorded breast image to be viewed, enhanced, magnified, or manipulated for further evaluation.

All-digital mammograms mean:

quicker mammograms, since there’s no need to wait for film images to be developed
images can be viewed instantly by the technologist and radiologist
images can be easily transferred electronically with no loss of image quality
computer-assisted optimization helps radiologists detect micro-calcifications that might be missed on traditional film mammograms

R2 Checker System

Physicians at Breast Center are increasing their fight against breast cancer with the R2’s Computer Aided Detection (CAD) system, the ImageChecker, assists radiologists by highlights areas that need a second look. It assists the radiologists in locating very hard to detect small abnormalities in mammograms. This Computer Aided Detection System is essentially like having a second set of eyes for reading mammograms.

Mammopad For Comfort

Comfort is the key with a mammogram! Many women experience some degree of pain or discomfort during a mammogram. Early detection dramatically improves survival rates, so missing an annual exam could have devastating outcomes for women. That is why we are proud to provides the FDA-cleared foam cushion, called MammoPad®. The singleuse, adhesive-backed foam cushion attaches to the compression plates of the mammography device. It creates a softer, warmer mammogram and helps to relax the patient, often resulting in a better breast image.

Breast Ultrasound

Once a mass is detected, often the next step is an ultrasound. Breast ultrasound is a procedure that may be used to determine whether a lump is a cyst (sac containing fluid) or a solid mass and can also be used to precisely locate the position of a known tumor.

Instant Physician Consult With Diagnostic Mammogram

The one suggestion we kept receiving from our patients was that if they found a lump - they wanted to know their results immediately. We have responded with a physician who specialized in Radiology on staff at the Breast Center full-time. The physician will review your diagnostic test with you and offer immediate further testing when possible.
