SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Crouse Hospital says it’s buying a digital tomosynthesis machine for its Hadley J. Falk Breast Health Center, a device that provides 3D mammography tests.
The Saint Agatha Foundation, based in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, awarded the Crouse Health Foundation $406,000 in funding to help pay for the machine.
The Breast Health Center administered 8,500 3D mammography tests in 2022, Crouse Health said.
