Vermont’s First Contrast Mammogram

Copley Hospital in Morrisville, Vermont, just became the first in the state to offer contrast-enhanced mammography — a game-changing tool that dramatically improves detection for the 50% of women with dense breast tissue, who are at higher risk for breast cancer. This advanced imaging reveals hidden abnormalities often missed by standard mammograms, bringing cutting-edge care closer to home in the Northeast Kingdom without requiring long trips. While it’s a major leap forward, experts still recommend pairing it with ultrasound for the most complete screening. The move also fits into Vermont’s broader push to make breast cancer screening more accessible — including eliminating the need for a doctor’s referral to book a mammogram. For women with dense breasts, this new technology could mean earlier detection and life-saving results. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
