Jamestown, ND, September 13, 2013— Women who undergo routine mammograms at JRMC will have the latest screening and diagnostic technology available to them starting in October.

JRMC is the first facility in North Dakota to offer 3D mammography for breast cancer screening. 3D mammography (breast tomosynthesis) helps radiologists identify and characterize individual breast structures without the confusion of overlapping tissue.

The center’s Selenia® Dimensions® 3D mammography system is made by Hologic, a world leader in digital mammography. 3D mammography offers exceptionally sharp breast images, an advanced ergonomic design providing more patient comfort, and the ground-breaking 3D mammography platform designed to deliver superior screening and diagnostic performance.

Breast cancer screening with 3D mammography when combined with a conventional 2D mammography has a higher cancer detection rate than conventional 2D mammography alone. Radiologists are reporting that 3D mammography technology gives them increased confidence with a significant reduction in recall rates.

During a 3D mammogram exam, multiple, low-dose images of the breast are acquired at different angles. These images are then used to produce a series of one-millimeter thick slices that can be viewed as a 3D reconstruction of the breast.

By offering women the latest technology in mammography, JRMC hopes to increase the number of area women who will be routinely screened. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among women, exceeded only by lung cancer. Statistics indicate that one in eight women will develop breast cancer sometime in her lifetime. The stage at which breast cancer is detected influences a woman’s chance of survival. If detected early, the five-year survival rate is 98 percent.

JRMC is committed to the fight against breast cancer. In offering 3D mammography, JRMC provides the latest in imaging quality. If you would like to schedule a mammogram or have questions about this important breast health procedure, please contact JRMC Radiology at (701) 952-4852.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – A jury says the former public administrator for Grand Forks County was negligent in handling the estate of an elderly woman in 2011 but that her misdeeds caused no damages.
 
     That means the county is not liable for damages in the lawsuit brought by 86-year-old Faith Krueger seeking $250,000 – the amount she says disappeared while she was a ward of the county.
 
Thursday’s outcome was similar to the Aug. 30 verdict by a different jury in a twin lawsuit against the county brought by 77-year-old Paul Veum. He also claimed that Barbara Zavala took or mishandled his assets while he was a ward of the county in 2011. That jury found no damages.
 
     Zavala herself is under investigation but hasn’t been criminally charged.

 

 MINOT, N.D. (AP) – The attorney for a woman accused of running a prostitution parlor in Minot has been granted more time to work on the case.
 
Judge William McLees this week granted the request of defense attorney Gregory Hoover to continue a pre-trial conference for 31-year-old Trina Nguyen (wihn) until Oct. 16.
 
     Nguyen is charged with human trafficking, a felony that carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. Authorities allege that she operated The Mann’s Club, a massage parlor that employed prostitutes. Police shut down the business last spring.
 
     A co-defendant, 31-year-old Loc Tran, is still at large. A warrant has been issued for his arrest.

 

 FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A man accused of killing two children on the Spirit Lake Reservation once asked investigators what the maximum sentence was for the crime.
 
     Jurors in the murder trial of Valentino “Tino” Bagola on Thursday saw a videotape of a jailhouse meeting between Bagola and two FBI agents two days before he was indicted in the May 2011 deaths of 9-year-old Destiny Shaw-DuBois and her 6-year-old brother, Travis DuBois Jr.
 
     The Forum reports that at one point, Bagola asked the agents, “What’s the most you could get for it?” When one of the agents told him he could get life in prison, Bagola asked if a lighter sentence could result from a plea bargain.
 
     Authorities allege Bagola confessed to killing the children. His defense maintains the children’s father confessed.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota oil drillers continue to produce oil and natural gas at a record pace.
 
     The Department of Mineral Resources says the state produced an average of 874,460 barrels per day in July. That’s up from an average of 821,598 barrels daily in June.
 
     North Dakota’s oil patch had a record 9,322 producing wells in July, up from 9,096 wells in June. 
 
     North Dakota also produced a record 30 million cubic feet of natural gas in July. That’s up from about 28 million cubic feet produced in June.
 
     Regulators say 30 percent of the state’s gas production is being burned off because development of the pipelines and processing facilities needed to handle it has not kept pace with production.

 

 WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Federal, state and local authorities have been working in Williams County this week to locate registered sex offenders and check them for compliance.
 
     The U.S. Marshals Service says the multi-agency effort was the first of its kind in the county, involving the Marshals Service, the Williams, Cass and Grand Forks county sheriff’s offices, the Williston Police Department and North Dakota Probation and Parole.
 
     The Marshals Service says the number of registered offenders in Williams County has nearly tripled since 2010.
 
     The effort found that 95 offenders are in compliance, two are in jail, two are dead and 25 are not in compliance. The Marshals Service says five of the offenders found not in compliance were referred for prosecution, while the other 20 cases will be investigated.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – The all-time leading scorers in University of North Dakota men’s hockey and women’s basketball are being honored this weekend.
 
     Greg Johnson and Jenny Crouse are being inducted into the school’s Athletics Hall of Fame on Saturday.
 
     Greg Johnson finished his UND career with 272 points, including a WCHA-record 198 assists. He was a three-time finalist for the Hobey Baker award, given to the top player in college hockey. He went on to play a dozen seasons in the NHL, with four teams.

     BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Hockey players and figure skaters in Grand Forks and Minot will soon have more ice to accommodate them.
 
     The Icon Sports Center planned in south Grand Forks will have two USA Hockey-size rinks with 500 spectator seats per rink. The Grand Forks Herald reports that the $8.6 million facility should be open in a year. Donations so far have totaled $7.5 million.
 
     In Minot, about $3 million has been raised for an expansion of the Maysa Arena that is expected to cost between $6.5 million and $7.5 million. The Minot Daily News reports that the project will add a third sheet of ice, renovate another rink, and improve the arena’s office and locker room areas. Work is to start in the spring.

The inspection team was charged with determining whether deadly agents were used in Syria, not who was responsible.
 
     LONGMONT, Colo. (AP) – Floodwaters are cascading downstream from the Colorado Rockies, sending mountain rivers and creeks over their banks and forcing thousands of additional evacuations in water-logged communities.

Rain is continuing to fall, bringing flooding to a wide rugged area stretching from Denver to Fort Collins.
 
     BOSTON (AP) – Three friends of the Boston Marathon bombing suspect have pleaded not guilty to obstruction of justice charges. Two of them are accused of destroying or concealing items belonging to the bombing suspect as he evaded authorities following the attack. The third friend is accused of lying to investigators.
 
     KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) – At least four Afghans are dead after a Taliban car bomb attack on a U.S. consulate in western Afghanistan Friday.

The attack underscores concerns about an insurgency that shows no signs of letting up as U.S.-led troops reduce their presence ahead of a full withdrawal next year.

 
     UNDATED (AP) – United Airlines says it will honor the tickets it accidentally gave away for free. The decision is good news for people who snapped up the tickets Thursday after United accidentally listed airfares at zero cost. Many customers got their tickets for $5 or $10, paying only the cost of the security fee. United isn’t saying how many tickets it accidentally gave away, or how much the mistake cost. The wrong fares were available on its website for a few hours.
