Fischer deploys trio of digital mammo systems at Indiana breast clinic

Fischer Imaging Corp. has installed three SenoScan digital mammography systems and two physician review workstations at the St. Vincent Breast Center in Indianapolis, Ind.
   
The Fischer SenoScan systems have displaced film-screen mammography units and are a central part of St. Vincent's move to an all-digital environment that includes an R2 Technology CAD (computer-aided detection) system, Kodak 8900 high-resolution laser imager and McKesson PACS.
   
A unit of St. Vincent Indianapolis Hospital, the St. Vincent Breast Center performs some 25,000 mammograms per year. The St. Vincent Breast Center also manages a mobile mammography unit that operates throughout Indiana.
