Digital mammography now available at Womancare Center of UPMC Horizon
Hermitage, PA — UPMC Horizon recently implemented digital mammography at the Womancare Center in Hermitage, which provides a valuable complement to the Magee Comprehensive Breast Center at UPMC Horizon and the Womancare Center’s existing breast imaging program, which was named a Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology in 2009.
“The addition of digital mammography enhances an already thriving breast imaging program at the Womancare Center, where patients have come to expect a warm, personal experience from our highly-qualified staff,” says Scott Pickering, MD, medical director of Imaging Services at UPMC Horizon.
Breast imaging services at the Womancare Center also include stereotactic breast biopsy, breast ultrasound, and ultrasound-guided breast biopsy. The center is staffed by six certified radiology technologists who, combined, have more than 100 years of experience in mammography. Results are read onsite by UPMC Horizon’s five board-certified radiologists, who live and work in the community.
The addition of digital mammography to UPMC Horizon’s diagnostic services is part of a comprehensive cancer program that encompasses not only the Magee Comprehensive Breast Center but also the UPMC Cancer Center at UPMC Horizon, which offers patients local access to medical, radiation, and surgical oncology from a National Cancer Institute affiliated program.
