On May 2, Rotarian Dr. Robert Ellis welcomed guest speakers, Sue McLaughlin, radiology manager and Dr. James Madix, radiologist from Houlton Regional Hospital. The topic was Digital Mammography.
Houlton Regional Hospital is switching from analog to digital mammography. May is Mammography month and HRH have been raising money to pay for this unit. Digital mammography has 20 percent reduction in radiation, is faster and more efficient. It is also takes less time and is more accurate and sensitive than analog.
