Mammography system boosts comfort at Union County Hospital
Peter Wories, director of radiology, says new LORAD mammography units improve patient comfort and efficiency. Union County Hospital operates one unit to serve about a thousand annual breast exams, with 10 percent called back for further diagnosis and 2 to 3 percent found with cancer. Wories urges starting routine mammograms at age 40 and notes ultrasound for lump evaluation in women under 40.
