We
think your mammogram deserves a SECOND Look
A new tool in the fight against
breast cancer... |

| What
is Computer-Aided Detection? |
|
|
Computer-aided detection, as the
name implies, uses a computer to analyze mammograms. The computer
does not replace the radiologist who would normally read the
mammogram, it merely acts as a "second opinion" for
the physician to take a closer look at subtle warning signs
that might easily be missed. The use of computer-aided detection
is expected to reduce the number of breast cancers missed. |
| A
SECOND Look without a second procedure |
|
Second Look gives you the benefit
of a second opinion without any additional procedures or doctor's
appointments. It is simply part of the mammography reading
process of your radiologist's office. Your mammogram is scanned
into the Second Look system and is analyzed using sophisticated
software. A report, called a Mammagraph is printed out which
helps to identify potentially cancerous lesions.
