Vim & Vigor - Fall 2008 - North Denver - (Page 31) ❋ mammogram i’m glad i had a . . . As Linda Gutter’s 40th birthday approached in June 2003, she felt no need to get a mammogram. Her gynecologist, however, was adamant. “He said, ‘You’re turning 40, you need a mammogram,’ ” Gutter says. “So, I got the screening, but I wasn’t expecting anything from it.” Gutter’s results uncovered comedo carcinoma, a type of early-stage breast cancer. Because she had more than 20 cancerous calcifications clustered in one area of her breast, Gutter opted for a partial mastectomy. She did not need chemotherapy or radiation after surgery. More than 200,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in the U.S. every year, according to the National Cancer Institute. About one-quarter of the cases, like Gutter’s, are women who have not reached menopause. Today, Gutter has been cancer-free for five years. She is wistful about her experience but grateful she listened to her doctor. “If I had let another year pass, it could have been deadly,” she says. “Luckily, we got it early.” the future of heart disease detection Although heart catheterization is effective, doctors now say that these imaging techniques may save even more lives. CARDIAC MRI uses magnets, radio waves and a computer to produce detailed pictures of the heart. 64-SLICE CT SCANNERS take just 15 seconds or so to capture multiple X-rays of the heart and arteries. These digital “snapshots” then are sent to a computer, where they merge to create a comprehensive picture of the heart. more facts? New 64-slice CT scanners are now part of imaging services at Avista Adventist Hospital (avistahospital.org), St. Anthony North Hospital (stanthonynorth.org) and St. Anthony Central Hospital (stanthonycentral.org).
