Baxter Regional Medical Center is home to the first Mobile Mammography Unit in the United States to have 3-D digital mammography technology on board!
In January, 2001, the original Mobile Mammography Unit (MMU) of Baxter Regional Medical Center began traveling throughout North Central Arkansas in order to provide mammography to an underserved population in outlying rural areas.
When it became necessary to purchase a new MMU after nearly 12 years, Baxter Regional became the first in the United States to house the 3-D digital mammography technology in a mobile setting. The Mobile Mammography Unit travels to 8 counties that BRMC serves, but now with the latest in technology on board!
3-D digital mammography provides the best available technology for early detection, allowing physicians to spot potential concerns in a way never before possible. The quality of 3-D digital mammography is far superior to analog, according to Dr. Kyle McAlister, Medical Director of Mammography at Baxter Regional. 3-D images allow radiologists to see subtle changes that could be missed with conventional analog or digital mammography.
The MMU travels to Baxter, Marion, and Izard counties; parts of Fulton, Searcy, Sharp and Stone counties in Arkansas; and Ozark county in Missouri.
The MMU enables Baxter Regional to provide an alternative screening method to residents of the Twin Lakes area and to increase the awareness and utilization of early-detection screenings for breast cancer.
