Digital Mammography - Screening and Diagnostics

Orange County Diagnostics provides state of the art Digital Mammography Services using its state-of-the-art Fischer SenoScan2 Digital Mammography System. Our system is based on the patented Slot Scan Digital Mammography (SSDM) technology which Offers the highest available Image Quality with 60% reduction in radiation exposure.

Digital mammography is different from a standard mammogram. With digital pictures, the physician can zoom in, magnify, and optimize different parts of the breast tissue in the picture without having to take an additional image.

In terms of preparation, positioning, and the look of the machine, the patient experience is unchanged. However, the result of the test offers several advantages, including a more powerful diagnosis. Included in the advantages are:

Fewer patients have to come back for additional pictures
Less anxiety as pictures are generated immediately
Less time for appointments, as results are obtained faster
The ability for physicians to magnify and optimize mammography results.

Mammogram appointments may require a physicians order, or may be self-referral.

For special procedures, please contact the Center for more information.
