Imaging & Diagnostic Services
Outpatient Imaging Services at Cartersville Medical Center features two mammography suites, an ultrasound suite, stereotactic breast procedure and a bone densitometry suite. The Outpatient Imaging team includes an on-site radiologist, skilled technologists and a friendly staff to accommodate patients’ imaging needs and schedules.
Mammography & Digital Mammography
Early detection is a women's best defense in the fight against breast cancer. The earlier the cancer is detected, the more options there are for treatment. The mammography suite at the Outpatient Imaging Center features the latest state-of-the-art mammography equipment with the lowest dose of radiation available. A mammogram, which is an x-ray of the breast, is used to look for breast disease in women.
Ultrasound
The ultrasound suite can take care of ultrasound needs including breast health, pelvic health or obstetrics. The ultrasound, which uses sound waves to produce images, is often used during breast biopsy procedures as well.
Bone Densitometry
A bone densitometry suite is also available to provide osteoporosis screenings. Osteoporosis is a progressive disease that causes bones to become thin and brittle, making them more likely to break. It affects 10 million Americans – mostly women. Post-menopausal women are encouraged to undergo bone density tests every two to three years.
