Laboratory

 

Radiology

Mammography

The Genius™ 3D Mammography™ Exam

At Magnolia Regional Medical Center, we are proud to offer the Genius™ 3D Mammography™ exam that provides better, earlier breast cancer detection for our patients.1-6  Genius™ exams are more accurate than conventional 2D mammograms, detecting 20-65% more invasive breast cancers.7 The Genius™ exam also provides greater peace of mind by reducing the chance of unnecessary callbacks.2,3 The Genius™ exam also reduces callbacks by up to 40% compared to 2D alone.2,5

The Genius™ Exam and Breast Density

Dense breast tissue can make it difficult for doctors to detect breast cancer during annual screenings, which is concerning since women with dense breasts are more likely to develop breast cancer. Studies show that the Genius™ 3D Mammography™ exam has greater accuracy than 2D mammography for women across a variety of ages and breast densities. It is the only mammogram that is FDA-approved as superior for women with dense breasts compared to 2D alone.1,2 This is good news for patients, as nearly fifty percent of women between the ages of 40 and 74 have dense breasts.8,9

Some Important Reasons To Get A Mammogram

    • Finding breast cancer early can save your life. As you get older, your risk for breast cancer increases. More than 3 out of 4 of all breast cancers occur in women age 50 or older.
    • Most women diagnosed with breast cancer have no history of it in their families.
    • Finding breast cancer early often means less surgery.
    • Getting a mammogram is easier than you think.
    • Having a mammogram once a year helps give you peace of mind.

If you are an Arkansas resident aged 40-64, you may qualify for a free mammogram. Visit ARBreastCare.com for more information.

CT Calcium Scoring

Cardiac Scoring, also known as Heart Scan or Calcium Score, is a non-invasive CT scan of the heart. It calculates your risk of developing Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) by measuring the amount of calcified plaque in the coronary arteries. The CT Calcium Scoring uses low-dose radiation and takes approximately ten minutes. The visit includes a calcium scoring scan, fasting glucose test, lipid profile assessment, and a radiologist interpretation. CT Calcium Scoring is recommended for men aged 35-70 or women aged 40-70 who have a family history of heart disease or who currently smoke, have diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or obesity.

Sleep Lab

Accreditation is important
Our Center has been accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Health Care since June 2015. Accreditation involves a review of the quality of care, staff and physician training, the facility, and patient safety measures. It is a prestige that only the best quality centers achieve. Most insurance companies require accreditation, and the accreditation process of the Accreditation Commission for Health Care remains the most comprehensive and stringent.

Experienced Sleep Medicine Specialist
Dr. David Davila of Little Rock, AR., is board-certified in sleep medicine. He completed his fellowship in pulmonary diseases and his residency in internal medicine.

Professional and Supportive Staff
The sleep technologists at the MRMC Sleep Clinic are some of the best sleep technologists in the country. They have undergone rigorous training at the clinic and at local and national conferences.

Respect the Patient. We make every effort to meet the needs of the schedule when making appointments, and we are dedicated to short wait times once you arrive.  Our professionals plan their schedule to ensure there is plenty of time to discuss your needs and answer all your questions about your sleep management.

State-of-the-Art Diagnostic Therapeutic Technology
The MRMC Sleep Clinic believes that our patients deserve the best diagnostic equipment. Our diagnostic equipment meets and exceeds the most stringent requirements of the Accreditation Commission for Health Care, allowing us to identify and treat disorders more precisely. Implementing the newest therapeutic modalities when available is an ongoing priority.

Professional and Comfortable Setting
The MRMC Sleep Clinic provides two large bedrooms linked to a central control station for monitoring.  Every room has intercom communication with the technologist.  We have a low-illumination infrared video camera to discretely monitor patient’s activities.  The technologist is fully aware of what is happening to the patient and is immediately able to intervene or provide assistance when indicated.  Our rooms also have your very own personal bathroom and shower if needed.

Prompt Reporting and Treatment
The prompt completion of testing, initiation of treatment, and compliance are the essential cornerstones of successful sleep management.  The MRMC Sleep Clinic provides diagnosis, treatment recommendations, and analyzed reports within seven days in most instances.  Patients with severe conditions may even receive the treatment plan the same day as testing if orders and insurance authorization are received.

Intense Patient Education, Training, and Follow-up
The diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders require intensive patient and family education. Your DME (Durable Medical Equipment) company (where you will get your CPAP/BiPAP) will provide our patients with prompt problem resolution and improved compliance.
