EnhancedRadiology provides high quality radiological exams in a number of imaging modalities. Diagnostic studies are performed in a comfortable setting by caring, well trained technicians using the latest equipment.
Enhanced Radiology Center is a big medical servising center providing Digital Mammography. Digital Mammography is one of the best resent anvantage X-ray. Digital computerized mammography is similar to standard mammography in that x-rays are used to produce elaborate images of the breast. Digital mammography uses essentially the same mammography system as conventional mammography, but the system is equipped with a digital receptor and a computer instead of a film cassette. Several studies have demonstrated that digital mammography is at least as accurate as standard mammography.

Digital spot view mammography provides faster and more accurate stereotactic biopsy. The digital spot-view mammography, images are developed digitally and exposed immediately on the system monitor. Spot-view digital systems have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in guiding breast biopsy. Orthodox or oldest stereotactic biopsy requires a mammogram film be exposed, developed and then reviewed, greatly increasing the time before the breast biopsy can be finished.
In addition to spot-view digital mammography, the FDA has approved a "full-field" digital mammography system to screen for and diagnose breast cancer. With continued improvements, the "full-field" mammography systems may eventually replace traditional mammography.
Standard mammography:- Their images are recorded on film using an x-ray cassette. The film is viewed by the radiologist using a "light box" and then stored in a jacket in the facility’s archives. With digital mammography, the breast image is captured using a special electronic x-ray detector, which changes the image into a digital image for review on a computer monitor. The digital mammogram is then stored on a computer. With digital mammography, the magnification, orientation, brightness, and contrast of the image may be altered after the exam is completed to help the radiologist more clearly see certain areas.
Digital mammography accepts an electronic image of the breast and stores it directly in a computer, allowing the recorded data to be enhanced, magnified, or manipulated for further evaluation. The electronic image also can be printed on film. Film mammography units apply film to both capture and display the image. The sensitivity of film mammography is somewhat limited in women with dense breasts, a population at higher risk for breast cancer.
In future, digital mammography may allow for many benefits over standard film mammography. These benefits given bellow:
Developed contrast between dense and non-dense breast tissue.
Quick image acquisition (less than a minute)
Shorter exam time (approximately half that of film-based mammography)
Easier image storage
Physician manipulation of breast images for more accurate detection of breast cancer
Ability to correct under or over-exposure of films without having to repeat mammograms.
