Mammograms

Compassionate Care with Confident Results

Eastern Long Island Hosptial is certified as a Softer Mammogram Provider®, a distinction awarded only to an elite group of healthcare facilities that offers MammoPad® as standard of care. We provide every woman with a digital mammogram that includes the MammoPad breast cushion.

Digital mammography is the latest advancement in breast imaging. It 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.

Digital mammography provides high quality breast images and special tools that allow the radiologist to see more detail than ever before. This advanced imaging technology helps clinicians detect breast cancer at the earliest stage possible.

In addition to offering superior mammography technology, Eastern Long Island Hospital offers a warmer, softer mammogram by using the MammoPad breast cushion for every patient. MammoPad has been clinically demonstrated to reduce discomfort, associated with mammograms, for most women. This breast cushion is “invisible” to X-rays and does not interfere with the image quality of the mammogram.

For more information or to schedule a softer mammogram, please call 631-477-5121.

Computer Assisted Diagnosis (CAD) adds a virtual second opinion for every patient, quickly and onsite in addition to the skillful eye of the board certified radiologist team at ELIH.
