MOUNT POCONO, MONROE COUNTY - There's a better way to detect breast cancer in one part of the Poconos. Geisinger in Mount Pocono now has a digital mammography machine.

In the past the machines used film. It took time to develop and wasn't as clear as a digital image. The new machine takes your images in just seconds and transfers them instantly to your technician's computer. Medical experts say it could help you spot lumps early so you have a better chance of fighting cancer.

Physicians Assistant Sarah Prislueski said, "It's giving different views. A more 3D view of the breast so you are more likely to get a better picture and less likely to miss a subtle abnormality."

On Friday Geisinger in Mount Pocono is hosting Women's Day. You can get your mammogram, a pap smear, and a bone density test all at once. To make an appointment call 570-839-3633.
