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.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The federal Farm Service agency says emergency haying will be allowed on Conservation Reserve Program acreage in seven North Dakota counties in response to severe drought conditions. The Bismarck Tribune reports that CRP participants in Barnes, Griggs, Kidder, Lamoure, Logan, Stutsman, and Wells may cut hay on eligible CRP practices after submitting a signed request to their local FSA office.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Police say a Bismarck man accused of holding a family member at gunpoint was arrested after a brief standoff.
The 21-year-old man is likely to face terrorizing charges for the incident, which happened Saturday afternoon.
Police say a woman had called police to report that her son was holding a female member of the family at gunpoint.
The man surrendered after talking with police over the phone. Authorities say he had two guns, a pistol and a shotgun.
No injuries were reported.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Trial is scheduled this week in the July 2012 stabbing death of a man on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation.
Waylon Hicks is charged in federal court with second-degree murder. He has pleaded not guilty. Authorities say Hicks killed Jeremiah Sage after the two left a New Town bar.
The 30-year-old Sage, of Halliday, served two tours of duty with the Marines in Iraq. He was working as a compliance officer with Three Affiliated Tribes in North Dakota.
Authorities say Hicks is an enrolled member of Walker River Paiute Tribe in Nevada.
A pre-trial conference is scheduled Tuesday at 9 a.m. in Bismarck.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota officials say most bridges in the state are in good shape and getting better, with most of those that could be at risk of failure carrying no more than a few dozen vehicles a day.
An Associated Press review of data submitted by states to the federal National Bridge Inventory found 7,795 bridges nationwide that are both structurally deficient bridges and fracture critical, a combination of red flags that experts say is particularly problematic.
There are 150 such spans among the 4,500 bridges in North Dakota. Those deemed fracture critical could collapse if a single vital component fails, while those rated structurally deficient have had their condition rated as poor or worse by inspectors.
Officials say many of the bridges on the fracture critical list have been fixed.
GRAFTON, N.D. (AP) – The former North Dakota Developmental Center in Grafton is celebrating a name change.
The home for intellectually and developmentally disabled people is now called the Life Skills and Transition Center. Officials are holding an open house for the community on Tuesday.
Superintendent Alex Schweitzer says North Dakota over the past decade has dramatically changed how services are provided to people with disabilities, to help them fulfill personal goals and dreams. He says the new name reflects that.
The Grafton center is part of the state Department of Human Services. It employs about 375 people and serves 86 people.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) – Officials with Minot public schools say that a vote in December on a $125 million bond issue doesn’t mean that the district would spend that much.
School Supt. Mark Vollmer says while a second high school is part of the original proposal, it won’t be built if it’s not needed.
Officials say the bond issue would increase school property taxes for the owner of a $200,000 home by about $460 per year if the full $125 million was sought at once.
However, district business manager Scott Moum says not all the bonds would be sold in the first year.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Petroleum Council is holding its annual meeting outside of the oil patch this year.
The meeting is slated to run Monday through Wednesday at the Alerus Center in Grand Forks.
The group represents about 350 companies doing business in western North Dakota’s booming oil patch.
Organizers say holding the event in the eastern part of the state gives residents there a chance to learn more about the state’s oil activity.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – In a year of fewer deer, grouse and pheasants, ducks and geese look to be the bright spot for North Dakota hunters this fall.
The state’s waterfowl season opens Saturday for residents and Sept. 28 for out-of-state hunters.
Waterfowl biologist Mike Johnson with the state Game and Fish Department says North Dakota waterfowl hunters can expect this year to be among the top 20 in terms of hunting quality.
The outlook might be most favorable in the Devils Lake region, where officials say ample water conditions have led to excellent duck production. Biologist Mark Fisher with the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service says nesting success in the region was “pretty amazing.”
GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – Officials with a Grand Forks events center and football stadium say the facility is on pace to make half a million dollars this year. Alerus Center executive director Cheryl Swanson says the rosy projections come on the heels of a record year in 2012, when the building made $954,000.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A charity that was promoted by barefoot performances from North Dakota’s two Division One men’s basketball coaches is handing out shoes in Fargo.

North Dakota State head coach Saul Phillips and University of North Dakota head coach Brian Jones helped raise money for the project by taking off their shoes when the teams played last December.
Program officials said as many as 300 pairs of shoes were to be distributed Sunday afternoon during an event at the Fercho YMCA in downtown Fargo.
