Today, MAHC is proud to welcome patients back into a refreshed clinic space equipped with leading-edge technology designed to enhance both clinical excellence and patient comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new GE Senographe Pristina mammography unit offers significant advancements over the previous system. Most notably, it features advanced 3D tomosynthesis technology, producing clearer, more detailed images\u2014particularly beneficial for detecting and diagnosing lesions in dense breast tissue. The system also allows for faster and more efficient image acquisition, helping reduce the time patients spend in compression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patient comfort was a key consideration in the design of the new unit. Supportive armrests have replaced the rigid handles of the previous machine, allowing patients to relax their muscles during the exam, which improves both comfort and image quality. The addition of the Pristina SensorySuite further enhances the experience, with monitors on both sides of the unit displaying soothing scenery accompanied by calming sounds. The new equipment also supports technologists through improved ergonomics, reducing physical strain during patient positioning and maneuvering, and contributing to a safer, more efficient workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MAHC extends its sincere appreciation to patients and families for their patience during the temporary service pause and renovation period. Routine mammography services have now resumed at the Huntsville Hospital, and patients will be contacted regarding any rebooked appointments as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This upgrade reflects MAHC\u2019s continued commitment to delivering high-quality, compassionate care for everyone in Muskoka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>From  Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare announced today that the new donor-funded mammography unit at the Huntsville District Memorial Hospital (HDMH) is now fully installed and operational, marking an important milestone for breast [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1904,"featured_media":218352,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-218351","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
