ADVISORY/Englewood Hospital and Medical Center Unveil Aurora Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

--(BW HealthWire)--Sept. 23, 1998-- WHAT: President Clinton's mother, Virginia, and Linda McCartney both lost their battles with breast cancer. But, Betty Ford, Anne Jillian, Shirley Temple Black, Happy Rockefeller, Olivia Newton-John, Peggy Fleming and millions of other women were diagnosed and successfully treated for this often deadly disease.

Projecting an estimated 178,700 new cases among women in the United States during 1998, the American Cancer Society asserts that "Early detection is the best opportunity to reduce mortality."

With the unveiling of the Aurora(R) Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Englewood Hospital and Medical Center is the only facility in the tri-state area and among only four facilities in the world to have this state-of-the-art technology.

The Breast Care Center has been designated by Congress as a national model for breast cancer diagnosis and management. The installation of the dedicated Breast MRI further demonstrates the Medical Center's continued commitment to the early detection of breast cancer.

The dedicated breast MRI improves detection in patients who have:

- dense breast tissue or ambiguous mammograms

- been treated with breast-conserving surgery (e.g., lumpectomy)

- genetically high risk factors for breast cancer

- breast implants

- and is used in post surgery evaluation for the detection of

recurrence
