Sometimes it’s the little things that make the difference. To encourage women to stay current with their mammograms, the Diagnostic Imaging Department at Estes Park Health has purchased small gifts for women who show up for the important cancer screening.

Patients who get their mammogram screening or diagnostic exams in the month of October will receive a decorated reusable grocery bag, a pen and pad, and a tiny duck. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Estes Park Health strives to make the experience as positive as possible for patients

The Diagnostic Imaging Department staff recently designed their own breast cancer support shirts to wear in October. The people who work in radiology performing mammograms, ultrasounds, DEXA scans, MRIs, and CT scans want to show their support for patients, family, friends, and colleagues who have endured breast cancer.

The digital 3D mammography unit at Estes Park Health uses x-rays to produce detailed images of the breast. Digital mammography technology produces better images and has a higher sensitivity to identify abnormalities, allowing for more precise diagnoses compared to conventional film screen technology.
