Rural ND/MN Hospitals Go Digital
New ally in the fight against breast cancer
|
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among women, exceeded only by lung cancer. Statistics demonstrate that one in eight women will develop breast cancer sometime in her life. Now there’s a new ally in the fight against this prevalent disease.
DMS Imaging, in partnership with rural hospitals throughout northeast North Dakota and Northwest Minnesota, is bringing full-field digital mammography to women across the region. “The mission of DMS Imaging is to make a difference in the lives of our patients. We believe all people, no matter where you live, deserve access to cutting-edge health services,” says Paul Wilson, CEO of DMS Health Group, the parent company of DMS Imaging. And now that technology is here for the early detection of breast cancer.
Beginning in April, hospitals in Fosston, Ada, Northwood, McVille, Cooperstown, Park River, Grafton, Cando, Devils Lake, Warren, Karlstad, Hallock, Cavalier and Langdon will begin offering digital mammography to their patients each week.
What is digital mammography?
Digital mammography uses computers and specially designed digital detectors to produce an image that can be displayed on a high-resolution computer monitor, and transmitted and stored just like computer files. The radiologist can view and manipulate the images and enhance visualization of the structures within the breast tissue. They can also adjust brightness and contrast, and zoom in on specific areas to help detect small calcifications, masses, and other changes that may be signs of early cancer.
From the patient’s point of view, a digital mammogram is like traditional film screen mammography. Both use x-ray to generate images of the breast. However, instead of using film to capture and record the image, a digital mammogram uses a special detector to capture and convert x-ray energy into a digital image. The resulting digital images are immediately available to the radiologist for diagnosis. Digital mammography takes less than half the time of traditional film-based exams as well as reduces the need for repeat exams due to under or over-exposure.
What does this mean for rural healthcare?
Through shared service pooling, DMS Imaging is able to bring digital mammography to the rural communities, where even larger facilities cannot afford it within their walls. The concept of this shared model incorporates economic resources of many facilities, in order to provide cutting-edge medical services to the people in their communities.
“Through shared services, our digital mammography unit will travel on a set schedule based on the frequency and length of time agreed upon between DMS and each individual facility,” says Nathan Roesler, Regional Vice President for DMS Imaging. “This gives rural facilities the ability to provide its patients with the highest quality care, without having to invest in the purchase of capital equipment. They likely don’t have the patient load to justify having the service available every day, but having the service one or two days a week means their patients don’t have to travel to a facility in a larger community that has the technology available. It’s a win-win for the patient and the facility.”
The DMS Health Group, an operating company of Otter Tail Corporation, runs two primary business units, DMS Imaging and DMS Health Technologies. DMS Imaging provides mobile, portable, interim and fixed-site diagnostic imaging services across the United States. DMS Health Technologies sells and services diagnostic imaging and patient monitoring equipment. For more information about the DMS Health Group, visit www.dmshg.com.
