The Daily Mail recently published an article discussing the clear benefits of digital mammography which makes breast screening more efficient, and also has the power to detect cancer earlier, helping to save lives.
The London Breast Institute (LBI), which is located at The Princess Grace Hospital, is recognised as one of the best Private Breast Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment Centres in the UK with over 10,000 patients seen annually.
Our Medical Director, Dr Nick Perry, is one of the pioneers of digital mammography, particularly in younger women and significantly, we were the first hospital in the UK to use digital mammography 11 years ago. The LBI’s results have since shown a doubling of cancer detection rates, as a direct consequence of using digital mammography – the results of which were recently published on-line by European Radiology in October 2010.
At the London Breast Institute, we run a one-stop breast clinic and anyone can make an appointment for the following day for a mammogram without referral from a GP. This service allows women to proactively ensure they are screened regularly with the best technological equipment – digital mammography.
