Subject: The highest resolution digital mammographic service available.

Dear Colleagues:

Pacific Breast Center’s commitment to excellence and determination to be at the forefront of diagnostic breast imaging services in the Northwest has brought some major technical advances that further enhance our ability to provide an unexcelled level of service.  For the past three years we have resisted the pressure to offer digital mammography, believing that our patients and referring community would be better served by our waiting for higher resolution and more cost-effective digital imaging equipment. The time has come! We are proud to announce the conversion of our analog mammographic services to a totally integrated, new generation, ultra-high resolution (50 micron) Fuji CR digital mammography system. Simply stated, we can now offer patients the highest resolution digital mammography of any breast imaging service in the area.

Referring physicians now have the option of viewing their patients’ mammograms through our PACS system. We will be able to transmit mammographic images, sonograms, breast ultrasound, breast MRI studies and breast-specific gamma imaging studies (BSGI) to any facility, anywhere in the world where they have the ability to view digital images.

My colleagues and I are always available to answer your questions and provide you and your patients an exceptional level of breast consultative and imaging service.

Sincerely,

G.W. Eklund, M.D., FACR
