The Women’s Imaging Center features the latest 3D imaging, mammography and biopsy technology.

The Women’s Imaging Center is accredited by the American College of Radiology and recommends annual screenings starting at the age of 40 for women of average risk of developing breast cancer. For those patients that may be at higher-risk, earlier screenings may be recommended.

Regular mammograms are the best way to detect breast cancer early. At our Women’s Imaging Center, located inside our main hospital campus, we make getting a mammogram easy and convenient. Our exam rooms are warm, spacious, welcoming and private. We have the latest 3D imaging and biopsy technology, and our compassionate staff treats you with dignity and respect

3D Mammography

The Women’s Imaging Center offers the greatest advancement in mammography over the past 20 years: 3D mammography (tomosynthesis). Compared to traditional 2D mammography, 3D provides superior diagnostic capabilities. This allows a stronger likelihood of early detection and fewer callbacks.

We were the first in the region to offer 3D mammography, and we were selected as one of just nine hospitals in the world to work with the manufacturer to evaluate their computer-aided detection (CAD) software, the industry standard—now used in all Hologic 3D units.

Early Breast Cancer Detection Saves Lives

Part of an annual screening, regular mammogram appointments with the Patricia J. Kempthorne Women’s Imaging Center at Gritman Medical Center help with early detection of breast cancer. Gritman’s medical staff recommend that most women, patients with an average risk of developing breast cancer, begin annual screenings at the age of 40. For women who may be at higher risk, earlier screenings may be recommended in consultation with a primary care provider. Read More

No One Fights Alone

We caught up with some past Pink Tea and Pink Cocktail speakers to see where their journeys have taken them. In each testimony, there is a central theme that reminds us that no one fights alone.

We have been fortunate to hear stories from cancer survivors like Maria Horta Vorse and her husband, Chad Vorse. A common theme arose from the survivors who have spoken – no one fights alone, and when a community comes together to support someone battling cancer, special and lifelong bonds are made.

Inspired by Patricia J. Kempthorne

The Women’s Imaging Center is located near the main lobby and Family Birth Center. Patricia J. Kempthorne, a University of Idaho alumna and former First Lady of Idaho, was on hand to dedicate the facility during the grand opening. She is known for her advocacy for early detection of breast cancer. Early detection of breast cancer and osteoporosis is critical in giving women the best opportunity to live full, healthy lives.
