MNAP Diagnostic Center is quickly gaining respect and recognition as one of the Philadelphia area’s premier providers of diagnostic cardiac care services.

Among the services we are proud to offer is Coronary CT Angiography.

Did you know: Heart disease is the number one cause of death for both men and women? Yet people with heart disease often have few signs or symptoms.

Coronary CT Angiography is an especially powerful tool in the fight against heart attacks and can save the life of you or someone you love. Performed using a 64 slice CT Scan (commonly known as a CAT Scan), this completely non-invasive procedure can detect blockages in the arteries much sooner and with greater accuracy than ever before possible.

Coronary CT Angiography:

- Completely non-invasive and much safer than traditional heart catheterization.

- Very accurate - there are no false positives.

- Requires no hospital stay or recovery period - you can go home as soon as your test is completed!

- "Is more powerful than even the best non-invasive test for predicting a heart attack or other coronary episode, even in apparently healthy people. “The American Heart Association”

MNAP Diagnostic Center is proud to announce the addition of the Siemens MAMMOMAT NovationDR Digital Mammography System!

This state-of-the-art mammography system provides patients with optimal breast imaging and comfort with lower x-ray dosage than traditional mammography.

The MAMMOMAT NovationDR enables physicians and clinicians to better pinpoint disease and plan treatment. The system also meets the demands of modern mammography practices by providing digital screening, diagnosis, and stereotactic biopsy capabilities - all in one system, while both image quality and dose exposure reduction achieve an optimum level.

According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.®, breast cancer incidence in women has increased from 1 in 20 women in 1960 to 1 in 8 women in 2007. If detected early, the five-year survival rate for this disease exceeds 95%. While breast self-examination is one of the most important tools for early detection, for all women over the age of 40, regularly scheduled mammograms are not only highly recommended but can often detect a lesion long before it can be felt.

Our new mammography system will help MNAP Diagnostic Center provide women with the best possible exams. In addition to increased diagnostic capabilities, the MAMMOMAT NovationDR is also designed to reduce the discomfort often associated with mammography.

At 24 by 29 centimeters, the size of the MAMMOMAT NovationDR image detector allows imaging of a wider range of patient breast sizes, and its new paddle design provides easier and more comfortable patient positioning. The system enables a direct conversion of X-ray to digital information and features MammoReportPlus, a multi-modality workstation for mammography with the ability to accept CAD markers from approved vendors, which helps increase cancer detection rates. MammoReportPlus provides ultra-fast, high-volume mammogram reading, permitting users to switch between eight-view mammographic studies in less than one second, improving workflow in the process.
