Texas cancer center installs Aurora breast MRI

The Comprehensive Breast Center of The Don and Sybil Harrington Cancer Center in Amarillo, Texas, has installed a 1.5Tesla dedicated Breast MRI System from Aurora Imaging Technology.

The Cancer Center was founded for the purpose of bringing cancer care closer to home by making available state-of-the-art technologies for early detection, diagnosis and treatment of cancer. The addition of the Aurora System, which is the only FDA-approved MRI system for the detection, diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer, adds to this philosophy, according to the center. 

The Don and Sybil Harrington Cancer Center, an affiliate of Baptist St. Anthony’s Health System, is a nonprofit, community cancer center providing care to cancer patients throughout Amarillo and the surrounding 26 counties of the Texas Panhandle, eastern New Mexico, western Oklahoma, southeast Colorado and southwest Kansas.
