Women now have access to more accurate and efficient mammograms at Northside Hospital-Forsyth. Last month, the hospital’s Breast Care Center added a new three-dimensional mammogram machine, known as digital breast tomosynthesis. “It was installed on Feb. 15 and we completed our first procedure with it about two weeks ago,” said Lisa Gilman-Lowery, Northside Forsyth’s radiology manager.
