Peggy A. Bell Women's Diagnostic and Breast Center |
The Peggy A. Bell Women's Diagnostic and Breast Center at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas offers the latest medical technology for detecting breast cancer, including all-digital mammography, in a comfortable and warm environment. A recent study, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, found that digital mammography is more beneficial than film mammography for many women.
At the Women's Diagnostic and Breast Center, we understand the anxiety that can come with getting a mammogram or other medical procedure, so we've designed a center with relaxing waiting areas, comfortable lounges and large, private changing rooms.
From the fully stocked coffee bars to the comfortable gowns, you'll appreciate the personal touches at the Women's Diagnostic and Breast Center. Plus, the center offers services with your convenience in mind; weekend and evening appointments and pre-registration by phone are available.
Located on the first floor of the Margot Perot Center for Women and Infants, the center provides a wide range of services, from screening and diagnostic mammography to stereotactic breast biopsy and genetic testing for breast and ovarian cancers. Care at the center is provided by experienced radiologists on the medical staff, compassionate staff members and volunteers who are breast cancer survivors.
Offering the Best Options for Detecting Breast Cancer
According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women. The ACS reports that breast cancer death rates are going down, and the decline is probably the result of earlier detection and improved treatment. That's why you'll want to get your breast care at a center that offers you the best options for detecting breast cancer. You'll find the experienced radiologists on the medical staff at the Women's Diagnostic and Breast Center use some of the most sophisticated technology available for detecting breast cancer.
The center provides all-digital mammography, which has been shown to be more beneficial than film mammography for many women according to a recent article in The New England Journal of Medicine. Digital mammography allows physicians on the medical staff to find smaller cancers earlier than when using conventional film technology, and the digital images can be stored electronically. The center also uses a computer-aided detection system, which utilizes technology to search for patterns that are typically recognized as indicators for cancer.
Caring for the Whole Patient
As a hospital-based center, the Women's Diagnostic and Breast Center provides convenient access to a wide range of services. They include chaplains, the hospital's comprehensive Breast Care Program and an Integrative Medicine Program. You'll find a hospital-based center has many advantages for meeting your needs - physical, emotional and spiritual.
