Brodstone Memorial Hospital in Superior  is the first in Nebraska to install the Hologic Selenia 3-D mammography Tomosynthesis imaging system
Jablonski Physics Services performed the ACR physics testing in April 2011 for the unit at Brodstone Memorial Hospital. This is the first X-ray mammography device that provides three-dimensional (3-D) images of the breast for breast cancer screening and diagnosis.  http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm243072.htm

Accreditation Deadline  (this applies only to private outpatient facilities, not to hospitals)   Effective Jan 1, 2012 providers who bill under Part B of the Medicare Physician  Fee Schedule for CT, MRI, breast MRI, nuclear medicine, and PET must be accredited to receive technical component reimbursement from Medicare.
