Jamestown Regional Medical Center has implemented a state-of-the-art contrast-enhanced digital mammography (CEDM) machine, significantly improving breast cancer detection. As the first healthcare facility in Jamestown to offer this advanced imaging, JRMC reinforces its commitment to providing exceptional care and improving the community’s health outcomes.
CEDM uses contrast agents to enhance breast tissue visualization, allowing for earlier detection of abnormalities. Early detection of breast cancer can lead to better treatment outcomes for patients. CEDM is expected to play a significant role in transforming breast cancer detection and treatment.
A generous grant from the JRMC Foundation made possible the purchase of a power injector, an essential component for the Contrast-Enhanced Digital Mammography (CEDM) machine. Thanks to the Foundation’s devotion to advancing healthcare in Jamestown, JRMC can offer this progressive diagnostic tool to its patients.
“We are thrilled to support the purchase of the new contrast-enhanced mammography unit at JRMC. This investment aligns with JRMC’s commitment to providing comprehensive women’s health services, including breast cancer prevention and early detection,” said Tonya Perkins, JRMC Foundation Director.
To ensure every woman can receive the care she deserves, JRMC proudly offers the No Excuses program. This program provides financial assistance and support to women who need mammograms and other preventive screenings. The program aims to remove barriers to care and ensure every woman can access the support she needs.
“As the new radiology manager, I am excited to build on JRMC’s responsibility to provide cutting-edge technology,” said Conrad Mitzel. “The addition of contrast-enhanced digital mammography (CEDM) is a prime example of our dedication to early breast cancer detection and exceptional patient care.”
To enhance the overall patient experience, JRMC has also incorporated several comfort-focused amenities into the mammography suite. Patients can now relax in warm pink robes and appreciate the newly installed artwork, creating a serene and welcoming environment during their mammogram.
