SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
3-D Mammo comes to the NW W hen it comes to cutting edge medical technology, most patients travel to Seattle. But these days, some women are traveling across the water to Poulsbo for the latest in breast cancer detection. That’s right, Poulsbo. Our local clinic, InHealth Imaging, became one of the first in the nation to provide the new technology called 3-D mammography or tomosynthesis. The new equipment was approved by the FDA in March and advocates worldwide have praised its benefits. One woman even traveled from the Phillipines to visit the local clinic. Detecting breast cancer is no easy task for radiologists, especially for early cancers. In traditional 2-D mammography, there is considerable guesswork in detecting suspicious areas, since normal breast tissues can overlap and create ‘phantom’ images that appear like lesions. For many women, this leads to unnecessary and costly biopsies. The new technology eliminates the guesswork by taking a series of low-dose images and constructing them into a 3-D image of the breast. The ability to look around these overlapping structures, eliminates ‘phantoms’ giving the radiologist a greater ability to detect smaller lesions or rule out cancer with greater confidence. Dr. Henne was moved to become one of the first to adopt the 3-D technology because of his intimate history with cancer: “We want the best tools to detect these cancers early, because that saves patient’s lives.� InHealth Imaging is also the only clinic in the region to provide a new kind of stereotactic breast biopsy. “This is a significant advancement in patient comfort,� he says, “because it greatly decreases pain during the procedure.� Though very few mammograms lead to biopsies, women who are asked to undergo the procedure can often experience great discomfort. The new equipment provides a more comfortable upright position and a continuous flow with lidocane, a numbing agent, reducing discomfort and bruising. Many patients therefore experience a completely pain-free recovery.
the same as standard digital mammography. InHealth Imaging also participates in various programs for low-income patients, so that they can receive the treatment they need. For more information visit their website: www.inhealthimaging.com or call their office at (360) 598-3141.

By offering women the latest technology in mammography, InHealth Imaging hopes to increase the number of women who will be routinely screened. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among women, exceeded only by lung cancer. Statistics indicate that one in eight women will develop breast cancer sometime in her lifetime. The stage at which breast cancer is detected influences a woman’s chance of survival. When detected early, less extensive treatment is needed and the five-year survival rate is 97 percent. The clinic also offers a full-spectrum of breast imaging services, including; Breast MRI, diagnostic ultrasound and ultrasound-guided core biopsies. 3-D mammograms are covered by insurance and cost
