BENTON — Franklin Hospital, located in Benton, Illinois is excited to announce that Digital Mammography featuring hexagonal technology is now available. Appointments are NOW being accepted for 2D Digital Breast Imaging, with 3D Digital Imaging to be available starting April 1, 2018. Our mammography staff along with the Aspire Cristalle 3D Digital Mammography System manufactured by Fujifilm provides the patient with an enhanced examination experience. The system utilizes a hexagonal designed detector system to maximize coverage and detail, as well as a curved paddle system to improve patient comfort.

James Johnson, CEO states that the new digital breast imaging technology now available at Franklin Hospital, brings the highest diagnostic quality and early breast cancer detection to the region. The purchase of the mammography system was made possible primarily through a generous SEDAP grant provided by the Delta Regional Authority, coordinated by the Greater Egypt Regional Planning & Development Commission. An open house introducing the community to the new technology is planned and will soon be announced.
