Meadows is the first facility in Georgia to offer GE's 3D-guided stereotactic breast biopsy. This technology will both increase the capacity for early cancer detection and provide patients with access to enhanced breast imaging services closer to home. The minimally invasive procedure also reduces the number of images taken from 12 to four, therefore reducing the amount of radiation the patient receives and the time the patient is in compression, making for a more comfortable experience overall.
"We are very excited to be the first facility in Georgia to have GE's 3D-guided stereotactic breast biopsy capabilities," said Tracey Kennedy, Meadows Regional Medical Center Director of Radiology. "...Our mammography technologists say it is the 'Cadillac' of stereotactic systems."
