But it’s not foolproof. It can miss cancer, especially in women with mixed-density or dense breasts, which contain more glands, ducts, and connective tissue than fat. Density makes it harder to detect suspicious lumps on a mammogram. That’s because glandular tissue appears white on a mammogram, just like a mass can. Fortunately, Henry Ford Health System now offers tomosynthesis, the latest in breast cancer detection that can give you a clearer picture of your breast health. “Tomosynthesis is the greatest innovation in breast imaging in 10 years,” says Patricia A. Miller, M.D., FACR, Director of the Division of Breast Imaging in the Department of Radiology at Henry Ford. Make Time for a Mammogram “Tomosynthesis is the greatest innovation in breast imaging in 10 years,” says Patricia A. Miller, M.D., FACR It can also decrease false positives. “Women with dense or mixeddensity breasts who undergo tomosynthesis are less likely to be called back for additional imaging,” Dr. Miller says. Tomosynthesis can be used for screening and diagnostic mammograms. A screening mammogram usually takes just 15 to 30 minutes. Convenient, Comprehensive Care Henry Ford offers a multidisciplinary breast cancer detection and treatment team of providers, including pathologists, breast surgeons, medical and radiation oncologists, nurse navigators, social workers, The American Cancer Society recommends that women ages 40 and older receive a yearly mammogram. To schedule this lifesaving screening, please call 1-800-HENRYFORD. and occupational therapists. These experts work closely to offer high-quality, coordinated care. “We pride ourselves on providing appropriate care to ensure good outcomes and helping patients navigate through the system,” Dr. Miller says. Tomosynthesis is available at our West Bloomfield and Macomb hospitals and our Brownstown, Dearborn-Fairlane, and New Center One Detroit medical centers. “We offer more tomosynthesis units than any other health system in southeastern Michigan,” Dr. Miller says. Tomosynthesis is covered by Medicare and most health insurance plans, but check your policy to be sure. For your convenience, Henry Ford offers both two-dimensional digital screening mammograms and tomosynthesis mammograms seven days per week across the system. Same-day results are usually available. Results are sent to the Henry Ford MyChart electronic medical record system, which can be accessed online, so you can see your results quickly. www.henryfordoptimeyes.com What Is Tomosynthesis? Tomosynthesis is a digital mammogram that uses X-rays to takes nine images of the breast in thin sections. “The resulting three-dimensional image allows radiologists to more easily distinguish a mass from overlapping structures that can hide or mimic cancer,” Dr. Miller says. Tomosynthesis increases breast cancer detection. Three more women per thousand will receive a cancer diagnosis because of it, compared with a standard, digital mammogram, which is significant.

Bigger, Better The full-service Super Vision Center, at more than 17,000 square feet, features 22 exam rooms and several eye care professionals, including ophthalmologists and four optometrists, one of whom is a pediatric optometrist. “We’re equipped to manage the gamut of primary care — from routine eye exams to testing and managing any eye disease, such as diabetic retinopathy or glaucoma,” Dr. Bolles says. “We can get you in the same day for an appointment, if necessary, and get test results the same day.” Frames for All Budgets If you’ve got your eye on a new pair of glasses, you’ll have over 2,500 frames to choose from at Southfield, including designer lines such as Tom Ford and Jimmy Choo. “We have frames for every budget, with frames starting at $49,” says Tara Scott, the Southfield General Manager. “We’re your one-stop shop for all things eye-related.” Focusing on Convenience and Safety To accommodate your busy schedule, the new Southfield location is open seven days a week — 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.

For those ages 14 and younger, HFO provides impact-resistant lenses at no extra charge. husiasts t n E s t r o p For: S r Types … o o d t u O d an Prescription sports goggles with polycarbonate lenses provide clear vision needed on the court, at the club, or on the playing field while helping prevent eye injuries. Malik says, “Nonglare treatments are also a smart choice because they reduce glare.” Many styles come with an elastic strap that secures the goggles on the head — so your loved one can forget about adjusting eyewear and focus on making the score. Aubrey Kalota, HFO Commerce Township office, suggests sports glasses with Transitions Vantage lenses for those often on or around the water. “These high-tech lenses polarize as they get darker in outdoor light, reducing glare while sharpening vision.” : For ho’s W one uy Any rd to B Ha For … Show how much you care by gifting a loved one a quality eye exam. “A yearly comprehensive eye exam is one of the best things people can do to preserve their sight and protect their health,” says Dr. Barry Bell, HFO Commerce Township office. “That’s because there are common eye diseases, such as glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy, that often have no early warning signs but can be detected during a dilated exam. An eye doctor will also pick up any changes in the eye that may signal other health problems, such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol.” Need a referral to one of Henry Ford’s skilled doctors? We can help with that, too. Remember, fashionable, functional gifts don’t have to be hard on your wallet. High-quality eyewear at HFO starts as low as $69, and special offers are often available.

The Origin of Floaters Floaters are tiny condensations of the vitreous humor, the clear, jellylike fluid that comprises your eyeball. Floaters occur when the vitreous humor peels off and detaches from the retina, the layer of specialized cells at the back of your eye that’s responsible for vision. If you notice floaters, don’t panic — they are a normal part of aging. “One hundred percent of people will get floaters as they age,” says Nitin Kumar, M.D., Senior Staff Ophthalmologist and a Vitreoretinal Surgeon at Henry Ford Health System. But if you’re extremely nearsighted, you may start to see floaters at an earlier age. When to See a Doctor Floaters typically don’t require treatment. But a sudden increase of floaters, especially when accompanied by flashes of light, may signal a retinal problem, such as a retinal tear or detachment. Retinal detachment can cause blindness. If you have these symptoms, seek a retinal exam. Fortunately, retinal problems are treatable. “We can use a laser outpatient procedure to repair a retinal tear and prevent retinal detachment,” Dr. Kumar says. Mending a retinal detachment, on the other hand, requires a trip to the operating room. In most cases, the retina can be reattached with one surgery. Still, for the sharpest vision and to reduce the potential for vision loss, “it’s better to catch a retinal tear before it becomes a detachment,” Dr. Kumar says. We’re Here for You Whatever eye problems you experience, Henry Ford ophthalmologists are at the ready to diagnose and treat a range of conditions.
