Huntsman Cancer Institute’s cutting-edge breast care technology includes
digital mammography and MRI.
We are the first health care organization in the Intermountain West to offer digital
mammography, which allows doctors to better view abnormalities through image manipulation
and computer enhancement. Digital mammography is proven to be especially useful in younger
women and those with dense breast tissue. This technology is used for routine annual
screenings as well as for diagnostic purposes and procedures.
Magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, uses magnets, radio waves, and a computer to produce
exceptionally clear and detailed images of internal structures of the body. This technology enables
doctors to detect tiny changes of structures within the body, particularly in soft
tissue such as breast tissue.
