West Hertfordshire breast care patients are benefiting from the new state-of-the-art digital mammogram in St Albans City Hospital, which is one of the first hospitals in the East of England to use this new technology.
Helen Shipley, lead radiographer said: "I am absolutely delighted we have this state-of-the-art digital mammogram which is great news for our patients. This machine allows radiographers to detect smaller and subtler abnormalities in the breast tissue more easily and really reduces the time taken when having a mammogram. One huge benefit with this machine is the need to recall patients for additional views is also greatly reduced."
