Digital Mammographs

Made possible thanks to the Marche en Rose and Les Rêves de Monique campaigns as well as the contributions of many donors.

Breast cancer often requires surgery up to and including a mastectomy, in which one or both breasts are removed. Thanks to mammography and the breast cancer surgery program, we can offer innovative care to women with breast cancer to help them regain their physical and psychological well-being.

The digital technology and tomosynthesis capabilities of these new devices provide much more detailed 3D images and therefore more accurate results. In practical terms, this means a reduction in the waiting time before examinations and a reduction in the number of patients being called back for further testing, sparing them a considerable amount of stress.
