Announcing new mammography technology!
Chicot Memorial Medical Center is excited to announce an upgrade to our mammography services.

This advancement reduces the need for follow-up visits caused by unclear results, while using only four radiation exposures—half the amount required by many other machines—without compromising image quality.
