SMC receives new digital mammography machine

Savoy Medical Center is excited to announce the addition of its new digital mammography machine. It is the newest technology in the area. Patients and their physicians can be confident that they are receiving the most accurate results in the fastest time possible. Scans with previous equipment could take up to 30 minutes. With this new technology, however, the scan will only take about 10 minutes. Ask your doctor to send the order to Savoy Medical Center, and call (337) 468-0183 to schedule your mammogram today.
