More than a mammogram.
At SMIL, breast imaging is more than just a screening appointment. It's a commitment to supporting women through every step of their care journey.
From annual screening mammograms to advanced diagnostic imaging, biopsies, breast MRI and PET-CT, our experienced breast imaging team works together with your referring provider to deliver coordinated, compassionate and expert care.
SMIL is proud to offer AI-assisted mammography technology as part of this commitment to excellence. This advanced technology provides our breast imaging radiologists with an additional layer of review during screening mammogram interpretation -- at no added cost to patients.
MammoScreen® is FDA-cleared, comprehensive breast cancer screening software designed to assist radiologists in reading digital mammograms to detect and assess suspicious tissue. It provides support by handling the tedious tasks of reading exams -- such as confirming image quality, measuring breast density, or highlighting suspicious areas. MammoScreen® can also manage a radiologist's worklist by moving difficult cases to the beginning of a shift and prepopulating case management recommendations to further avoid fatigue and eye strain.
MammoScreen® was the first Artificial Intelligence software to incorporate a patient's prior mammograms and health history into its algorithm to calculate and predict risk, and updates with every new exam added to the patient's record.
And if additional care is needed, you are never alone. In the event a patient gets called back for additional imaging from a screening mammogram, we have special reserved spots to get them in right away. Additionally, we have certified Breast Nurse Navigators at every diagnostic site to help guide, educate, support and coordinate care for patients throughout the follow up process.
AI does not replace the radiologist -- it enhances the expertise, confidence and precision of the physicians caring for you. And consistent with our patient-first philosophy, this technology is included at no added cost to patients.
Because at SMIL, exceptional care comes standard.
"We're so happy to restart using Therapixel. It helps us be more confident in our interpretations, helps us find cancers -- especially in dense breasts -- and allows us to call back fewer patients. AI helps us be more efficient, which is key given the national radiologist shortage.
Therapixel was great to work with, and we worked together to find a financial solution so that we would not have to charge the patient for the AI. If the AI is good for patients, it should be available for all patients and not just those that can afford it.
Since its inception, SMIL has striven to remain at the forefront of radiologic advancements. With the rise of AI-assisted software in radiology, SMIL researched diligently to find the best solution to support its contracted breast radiologists in their day-to-day tasks."
