Diagnostic
Densitometry
— Twenty-five million Americans suffer from osteoporosis, resulting
in more than one million hip, spine, and wrist fractures annually.
Using a bone densitometer, physicians can measure patient bone
density and follow it over time. If the patient's bone density
is low, or decreases at an abnormally fast rate, the patient
may be at risk for osteoporosis.
Mammography
— Mammography is a low-dose x-ray of the breast that has proven
to be the safest and most effective way of finding breast cancer
in its earliest, and most treatable, stages. Mammography can
often detect a lump long before it can be felt through physical
examination.
Stereotactic
Breast Biopsy Equipment — A stereotactic breast biopsy
uses computer-guided imagery to precisely position a biopsy
needle within the breast. In this special type of biopsy, the
radiologist can sample breast tissues and the patient can avoid
undergoing a surgical operation.
Vertebroplasty
— A procedure developed by interventional radiologists
and performed here at Milford Hospital by Vito
Errico, MD, vertebroplasty is used to stabilize broken bones
in the spine caused by osteoporosis. Studies have shown that
from 75 percent to 90 percent of people treated with vertebroplasty
will have complete or significant reduction of their pain.
Pap
tests — Milford Hospital, which is one of the few hospital
in the state to have board certified pathologist in Cytology
on staff, uses the ThinPrep® Pap Test™, (ThinPrep) which detects
more cases of cancer in the ealy stages than other Pap tests.
ThinPrep is the first real improvement of the Pap smear in 50
years.
