A Smarter, More Comfortable Mammogram Comes to Monroe County Hospital

At Monroe County Hospital, we believe that access to advanced healthcare shouldn’t mean traveling miles away from home. That’s why we’ve invested in state-of-the-art technology that puts your comfort, safety, and peace of mind first.

We are proud to introduce the Fujifilm ASPIRE Cristalle 3D Mammography System, now available at Monroe County Hospital. This advanced breast imaging technology is changing the way women experience mammograms, combining clearer, more accurate images with a gentler, more comfortable exam.


Why 3D Mammography Matters

Mammograms remain the best tool for detecting breast cancer early, often before symptoms appear. Traditional 2D mammograms take a single image of the breast, which can sometimes make it difficult to see through overlapping tissue. This can lead to unnecessary callbacks for additional imaging, and added worry for patients.

3D mammography, also known as digital breast tomosynthesis, takes multiple low-dose images in an arc over the breast. These images create a layer-by-layer view of breast tissue, helping radiologists detect abnormalities that may otherwise be hidden. The result: greater accuracy, fewer false positives, and earlier detection.


Designed With Comfort in Mind

For many women, discomfort is the most dreaded part of a mammogram. That’s where the ASPIRE Cristalle stands apart. Its exclusive Comfort Paddle was designed to gently adapt to your body’s natural curves. With flexible surfaces and four-way pivoting, it delivers more gradual, even compression, reducing the discomfort often associated with traditional exams.

This means women can expect a noticeably more comfortable experience without compromising image quality.
