Digital mammography converts breast screening x-rays, or mammograms, into computer files instead of on x-ray film, as with conventional mammography. The images can then be seen on a computer screen, saved and shared via computer networksDigital mammography produces a better quality of image than film-screen mammography. Images can be magnified, zoomed in on and be stored and retrieved electronically, improving radiologists’ ability to interpret the images and making long-distance consultations easier.
We, the undersigned, call upon you, residents of Middleton to sign this petition in confirming your support for Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale PCT to include in their plans for the new health centre to house a digital mammography machine to enable women to access this service locally. At present women have to travel to Rochdale or Oldham, we are asking health planners to install a digital mammography machine to increase the take up of women being screened and helping to save lives.
