MAMMOGRAMS MEAN
Early Detection of BREAST CANCER
A mammogram is an X-Ray of the breasts that is used to detect breast
cancer. Mammograms can detect very small lumps in the breast even
before they can be felt. The keys to surviving breast cancer are early
detection and early treatment.
The Breast Health Center at the Regional Medical Center is designed to
provide a soothing, comfortable environment to care for patients. The
center offers comprehensive services including digital mammography,
stereotactic breast biopsies, breast ultrasounds and bone density tests. The
Breast Health Center is accredited by the American College of Radiology.

Vascular Center
at the Regional Medical Center
The Regional Medical Center’s Vascular Center is an outpatient
facility designed to identify circulation problems, reduced blood flow
to areas of the body. It is accredited by the Intersocietal Commission
for the Accreditation of Vascular Laboratories.
Registered vascular sonographers perform a wide range of
vascular studies including evaluations of the carotid arteries,
circulation of the arteries and veins of the legs and arms, and renal
artery studies. The center combines the newest technology and
equipment with highly-trained specialists to offer the most advanced
diagnostic procedures for early detection of vascular disease.
Vascular Disease Screenings
The Vascular Center has provided regular community screenings to check for the presence of
vascular disease since 2006.
These screenings include:
Carotid Arteries Scan – checks for plaque in the major arteries that supply blood from
the heart through the neck to the brain (blockage in these arteries can lead to heart attack
or stroke).
Abdominal Aorta Scan (4-hour fast required) – checks for bulging (aneurysm) in main
artery that runs from the heart through the body (blockages can lead to kidney disease, Julius Babb, MD, FACS
and sudden aneurysm rupture causes severe blood loss and can lead to loss of life). MEDICAL DIRECTOR
VASCULAR CENTER
Ankle Brachial Index – checks blood flow (blood pressure) in the legs (blockages can lead Board-certified Vascular Surgeon
to leg pain or cramps, and total blockage can lead to gangrene and loss of a limb).
Your screening results will be reviewed by Dr. J. W. Babb III, a board-certified vascular surgeon.
Participants and their physicians will receive the test results.
Screening Cost: $40 per test or $99 for all 3
At present, Medicare does not cover reimbursement for most vascular screenings. Insurance claims
will not be filed through this screening program. Cash, checks or credit cards are accepted.

Vein Clinic
at the Regional Medical Center
For individuals with leg pain, swelling, heaviness, restless legs and
cramping, as well as varicose or spider veins, relief is available at the Vein Clinic
at the Regional Medical Center. RMC’s highly skilled surgeons combine clinical expertise with the latest cosmetic and surgical
techniques to return patients’ legs and feet to a more natural, youthful state. Vein treatments are performed on an outpatient
basis at the Vein Clinic.
WHAT ARE VARICOSE VEINS?
Veins in your legs carry blood back to the heart through one-way check valves.
When the veins become diseased, the valves no longer work properly, and a
backflow or “reflux” of blood leaks backward down the leg causing the veins
to bulge or balloon. These dilated or bulging veins are called varicose and may
occur on or under the surface of the skin. This may cause leg pain, swelling,
cramping and skin ulcerations.
WHAT ARE SPIDER VEINS?
Tiny red or blue bursts on your legs are called spider veins. Often seen on the
thighs, around the knees, on the calves and at the ankles, they are a result of
dilated venous capillaries that fill with blood and become visible.
BEFORE AFTER
HOW DO VEINS BECOME DISEASED?
It is estimated that heredity plays a role in 80 percent of all venous disease cases. Other causes include aging, obesity, leg
trauma, hormones, pregnancy, and occupations that require prolonged standing or sitting.
WHAT ARE TREATMENT OPTIONS?
Phlebectomy – a minimally invasive procedure used to remove varicose veins on the surface of the leg. Phlebectomy uses
local anesthesia and tiny skin incisions that do not require stitches and are barely visible when they heal.
Radio Frequency Ablation – under local anesthesia, a thin catheter is inserted into the Great Saphenous Vein through a small
opening, using a single needle stick. With the aid of ultrasound, the catheter is placed and delivers radio frequency energy to
the vein wall, causing it to heat, collapse and seal shut.
Schlerotherapy – the preferred method of treatment for spider veins. In this simple procedure, veins are injected with a
solution that produces an irritation to the inner lining of the vein, causing scar tissue to form that seals off the unwanted veins.
The number of treatments varies depending on the extent of the condition; the average number of treatments is three.
