FOR WOMEN
           Unique diagnostic care for your unique needs. As a woman, your healthcare needs are unique. Your anatomy is different from that of men. Your body chemistry is different, too. And your sensitivities are different. At The Imaging Center, we keep all of this in mind so you can get the care you really need. Let us take a Look! Focused care for women...by women. Our all-female staff and technologists will treat you with warmth and understanding, and we’ll take the time to listen to you and answer all your questions. Whatever you need to feel comfortable — whether it’s explaining your procedure or simply giving you the emotional support you need — we’re here for you. Digital Mammography...Leading the way in comfort and accuracy in the fight against breast cancer. The key to surviving breast cancer is to detect it as early as possible. And we’re doing our part. Our mammography technologists are not merely women, they’re each specially certified by the American College of Radiology to perform mammography for optimal accuracy. In fact, we're the first team in Lawton to make this commitment. We’re also the first area radiologists to evaluate mammography results using computer-aided detection technology, which can improve breast cancer detection by as much as 20%. Our technologists may also use breast ultrasound equipment to conduct the most complete exam for your situation. For your comfort, our mammography units compress from below rather than from the top. We also use special soft “mammo pads” designed to make your exam comfortable...and our patients have come to appreciate this. Helping you detect and avoid osteoporosis. As a woman, you’re four times more likely to develop osteoporosis than a man, and you may be one of the estimated 28 million women who already have low bone mass. At The Imaging Center, we use the gold standard in osteoporosis detection, known as DEXA scanning, which measures your bones’ density. Our goal is to detect potential low bone mass before you develop this silent, but reversible disease. Special measures you’ll appreciate. We want you to have the warmth and caring you deserve. That’s why our “exam attire” are comfortable terry-cloth robes. We have private waiting rooms with direct access to our deluxe mammography suites. We have private dressing rooms to store your clothes and belongings during your visit and exam. Plus, you'll feel confident in your personal access to a trained, certified technologist who will answer your questions, guide your care, and keep you comfortable. And, of course, our friendly staff of women will treat you with the same caring and compassion they would give the women in their own families, because you deserve it. |
