PeaceHealth's Cottage Grove clinic debuted its new 3D mammography machine in June. The technology replaces the 2D machine and helps professionals
better screen denser tissue and provides more accurate readings.

Every two minutes, a woman
in the U.S. will be diagnosed
with breast cancer, according
to the Susan G. Koman Foun-
dation which says early dedi-
cation and effective treatment
has contributed to a 38 percent
decline in breast cancer deaths
since 1989.
PeaceHealth is hoping to in-
crease that percentage.
The Cottage Grove facility re-
cently welcomed its long-com-
ing 3D mammography machine.
The technology was funded en-
tirely through philanthropy and
replaced a 2D machine that was
no longer serviceable.
The new machine began ser-
vicing patients on June 13.
According to the facility, the
3D machine better scans dense
tissue and allows a better view
of the area. It also requires less
of a "squeeze."
"We're a friendly, familiar
place," said mammographer
Louise Baker. The familiar at-
mosphere attracts local patients
and prevents them from putting
off important screenings.
"It's easy to put off those
screenings if you don't want to
drive into Eugene," she said.
Armory Continued from A1
12.
The site tested in the drill hall;
the space community members
gather for fundraisers and award
nights came back higher than in
the base test. In 2004, the area
tested at 49. In the latest test,
the result was 96. According to
Meyers, the city's theory is that
the space is directly in the path
of visitors walking from out-
side--specifi cally up the stairs
leading to the armory.
"That's lead paint on the
stairs. And we think people are
tracking it in," Meyers said.
To verify the city's suspicions,
Meyers ordered the stairs tested
as well. The bottom section of
the stairs closest to street level
tested at 30. The middle section
at 31 and the top level just be-
fore entering the armory tested
at 97.
"You can see it building up on
the stairs," Meyers said.
As for why the middle section
tested lower than the bottom
section, Meyers said it could be
explained by where the test area
was located.
"It's where he draws the
square. If he moved over a foot,
that reading could have been
higher."
In light of the new readings,
Meyers said the city is planning
on renovating the stairs outside
the building at a cost of approx-
imately $30,000.
"We have to do the stairs any-
way," Meyers said.
Once the stairs are completed,
Meyers said the city plans to do
another cleaning of the armory
and test the area again.
"It’s conceivable that, with
concrete stairs with lead paint
can be responsible for track-
ing," said Perry Cabot, a senior
program specialist with the
Multonmah County Health De-
partment who is responsible for
providing resources and educa-
tion on lead poisoning preven-
tion within the county. It would
be a sensible explanation, he
said, but without knowledge of
the remediation process he said
it’s impossible to know if it’s the
sole culprit behind the elevated
test. “There’s no way to say it’s
only from tracking.”
Cabot suggested that in other
armories the ventilation system
could be the culprit for spread-
ing lead dust but according to
Meyers, the Cottage Grove ar-
mory does not have a ventila-
tion system.
"We don't have one!" he not-
ed. "We have the old boilers and
the ceiling fans."
Meyers also noted that the
city has been remediating the
building as the restoration pro-
gresses.
"We clean, we treat every-
thing like it has lead because it's
an old building," he said. "All of
our contractors and people who
work on the building are certi-
fi ed for lead."
The remaining re-tested areas
of the armory came in lower as
well including a spot in an of-
fi ce that went from 73 to 17, a
basement sample that originally
tested at 164 and came down to
51 and the highest reading of
2004 that measured at 345 came
down to under fi ve in the 2017
test.
Environmental Testing and
Training Northwest out of Sa-
lem conducted the tests on the
armory and the results were pro-
cessed by SanAir Technologies
Laboratory, Inc. which is ac-
credited by the Better Business
Bureau.
Coming renovations on the
armory include the exterior,
which Meyers says is next on
the list after the stairs and sub-
sequent testing.
"We'll get the outside looking
really nice," he said. "And we'll
continue our fundraising."
Editor’s note: As part of our
service to the community and
mission to provide the most ac-
curate information available,
The Cottage Grove Sentinel
agreed to fund half the cost of
the latest lead tests performed
on the armory after being ap-
proached to do so by Cottage
Grove City Manager Richard
Meyers. The testing was per-
formed by a third-party, li-
censed company and the results
were obtained by The Sentinel
Patients will still have to
travel to Eugene for diagnostic
tests but the new mammography
machine, which was obtained
through the charity of over 100
local donors, will save patients
the drive for screenings.
According to the facility, it
served 1,300 women last year,
a slow year due to the older
2D machine but now with the
new technology the machine is
