BENEFITS OF NEW ODC/MRI New Unit is Faster than Mobile Unit with Shorter Scan Times For certain women at high risk for breast cancer, a screening recommended. A breast MRI can show the extent of known cancer or an issue with the other breast. Currently, my patients must travel into Nashville for this specialized imaging. . . . As Clarksville continues to grow, we much need breast MRI capability to diagnose and provide treatment in a timely manner. - Dr. Laura L. Lawson, Nashville Breast Center, P.C. Letter of Support breast MRI is New Breast Imaging Capabilities Available in Service Area. 11

Compass Family Health Clinic It is common practice for patients to wait weeks to months to have imaging completed in the Clarksville area. Patients who have the ability to travel to Nashville region are willing to travelbut those whom are not able to travel have to prolong their care until an appointment is available locally or visit an ER. Tessa Morrison, FNP 16
The Joint and Spine Pain Center I am more inclined to utilize Premier Radiology vs Tennova because of immediate access to the images via PACS online. Historically, requesting and receiving images and reports from Tennova has been a slow process. Also, acquiring xray images is now an issue for our clinic. Clarksville deserves more options besides Tennova for radiology services. The majority of patients are of geriatric age, and driving to Nashville is not a desirable option. Brian Wills, PA-C 17
