Digital Mammography and Synapse® PACS

Wayne General Hospital is pleased to announce that the latest in digital mammography technology is now available.  With the installation of Fuji’s Computed Radiography for Mammography (FCRm) system, developed by FUJIFILM Medical Systems USA, Inc.,  Wayne General Hospital is proud to offer this digital mammography capability.  An American Cancer Society study showed that mammography screening reduced breast cancer deaths by 63%. Now digital mammography increases our ability to detect even small cancers earlier—especially in women under 50; women who are pre-menopausal or in its beginning stages; and women with dense breasts.  Digital technology lets you and your doctor see the image quickly.  With a mouse click, your radiologist can enlarge and enhance specific areas, for prompt diagnosis and effective treatment.  No matter what kind, get a  mammography. For the latest in digital clarity, get it here.  Call your doctor for details.

Along with the digital mammography technology Wayne General Hospital also recently installed Synapse®, a state-of-the-art, radiology image and information network system that will dramatically streamline hospital operations and enhance patient care.  Developed by FUJIFILM Medical Systems USA, Inc., a leader in medical imaging technology, Synapse is a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), that permits the ability to electronically view, transmit and store diagnostic images, such as those generated by MRI, CT scan, ultrasound and x-ray.  Rest assured Wayne General Hospital is committed to providing you with the best possible care.
