flag Bluewater Health in Sarnia-Lambton launched new breast cancer tools to improve detection accuracy and reduce discomfort, funded by a $91,000 provincial grant.

flag Bluewater Health in Sarnia-Lambton has launched new breast cancer detection tools, including the Savi Scout reflector and CADstream MRI software, to improve accuracy and reduce patient discomfort. flag The seed-sized reflector replaces metal wires during biopsies, enabling more precise surgery without triggering airport alarms, while the software helps assess suspicious lesions, cutting unnecessary biopsies. flag Funded by a $91,000 provincial innovation grant, the upgrades aim to enhance early detection, especially for women aged 40 to 49, most of whom have no family history of breast cancer. flag Mammograms are available without referrals, though wait times exceed eight weeks. flag The hospital is exploring staffing increases to reduce delays and continues community outreach during breast cancer awareness month.
