Northern Radiology Associates Watertown, NY

At Northern Radiology Associates in Watertown, NY, boosting breast cancer screening rates begins with a mammography system that is designed to screen for breast cancer regardless of breast density with sharper images (than 2D alone) and greater visibility of patient images.

“Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (ACC) has a prevalence of less than .1 percent, it’s a 1 in a million cancer*, and I have to believe and I am confident saying if it wasn’t for the ASPIRE Cristalle DBT images, I could have missed that lesion…”

Dean Phillips, DO, radiologist at Northern Radiology Associates in Watertown, NY.

*ACC accounts for less than 1 out of every 500 new cases of cancer diagnosed each year. http://www.accoi.org/faq/acc-statistics
