New technology to detect cancer,

Cancer detect by machine,

A machine that is able to detect 41% more invasive cancers earlier, while reducing false-positive recalls by up to 40%, can only be called one thing.

"We went to a focus group and said, 'What would you call a technology that could find 41% more breast cancer and reduce the false positives?' and they said, 'That's genius!'" said Coryell.

More and more insurance companies are beginning to cover this genius 3-D screening technology, and for Dickinson Memorial, it fits perfectly with their mission of providing quality healthcare.

"It allows people to stay close to home and have that piece of mind that we're providing, basically, instantaneous feedback as to what the results are for the mammogram," said DCHS Administrator and CEO, These multi-faceted, layer-by-layer views allow specialists to catch breast cancer 15 months earlier, showing what may have been missed in a 2-D mammogram.

"We didn't see that area. It looked perfectly normal and that was a 1.5 centimeter invasive ductal carcinoma that was missed on the 2-D mammogram," said Coryell. "So, had this patient not had a 3-D mammogram, her cancer would've been missed this year."
