A third of the machines used in Hamilton and Niagara to diagnose breast cancer need to be replaced in the wake of a study by Cancer Care Ontario. That study shows computed radiography misses more breast cancer tumours than either mamography and digital images. Of the 32 diagnostic machines in this area's local health integration network, ten are computed radiography machines. Ontario will be spending 25 million dollars to replace all the devices in question across the province. However, the study's lead author says women should not be overly concerned for their well being.Dr. Derek Muradali says the risk of missing a breast cancer is extremely low and he recommends women wait for their next screening appointment as usual. However, he says if patients are concerned or anxious, they could have a repeat mammogram.
