Bone & Body Composition Screening

We offer bone density and body composition screening to assist your physician in diagnosing and monitoring osteoporosis, monitoring body fat and guiding weight loss, and measuring muscle mass.

Mammography

Annually for women ages 40 and older. This safe, low-dose X-ray procedure can detect breast changes so small that you and your physician won't be able to feel them for up to two years.

Our diagnostic imaging department includes proven mammography technology and is staffed by technologists who have been specially trained and certified.

In addition to mammography, Silverton Hospital offers Mammotome breast biopsy. Far less invasive than surgical biopsy, the needle-like Mammotome procedure uses samples a small piece of breast tissue through a tiny incision.

The procedure costs less, takes less time, leaves less scarring and than surgical breast biopsy.
