CLEARLAKE, Calif. – St. Helena Hospital Clear Lake has brought the latest breast cancer screening technology to Clearlake.
With the hospital’s new cutting-edge 3D mammography service, Lake County women now have access to clearer images and pinpoint accuracy proven to increase cancer detection rates.
The medical imaging team provided a 3D mammography screening to their first patient on June 1.
Studies have shown that 3D mammography, otherwise known as digital breast tomosynthesis, provides greater accuracy in pinpointing the size, shape and location of tumors, especially for women with dense breast tissue.
By taking multiple pictures of each breast in just four seconds, a 3D mammogram gives radiologists clear, highly focused images of breast tissue, layer by layer.
St. Helena Hospital Clear Lake is one of few locations in the region to offer this advanced medicine technology.
Previously, women would have to drive 50 miles from Clearlake to access this state-of-the-art imaging service.
“This cutting edge technology is just one more way we’re helping to keep the women of Lake County healthy and breast cancer free,” said David Santos, St. Helena Hospital Clear Lake’s president and chief executive officer. “We’re investing in this technology because women and families in our community deserve access to advanced medicine close to home.”
Research shows that 3D mammography results in a 29-percent increase in detection of all breast cancers and a 41-percent increase in detection of invasive breast cancers.
When it is detected and treated early, women have the best chance of beating breast cancer.
The 3D mammography technology benefits all women, not just those with a family history of breast cancer or dense breast tissue.
“Increased detection means fewer unnecessary biopsies and diagnostic evaluations,” said Amber Thompson, director of medical imaging. “We hope this helps Lake County women return to their lives with peace of mind.”
3D mammography has revolutionized detection by taking multiple pictures of each breast from many angles.
During the imaging session, an X-ray tube moves in an arc around the breast, taking 11 images in a matter of seconds. This is done with the same two compressions as a 2D mammogram and with no increased radiation exposure.
The 3D mammography and bone density (DXA) scanning services available in the new Medical Imaging Suite in the Hilltop Professional Building at 15322 Lakeshore Drive in Clearlake.
These services are covered by Medicare and most major insurance plans.

CLEARLAKE, Calif. – A Sunday night crash that injured two teenagers has led to the arrest of a Clearlake man who police said was driving recklessly.
Earl Lee Vogt, 34, was arrested on felony charges of child endangerment and reckless driving, according to Clearlake Police Sgt. Travis Lenz.
Just after 8:30 p.m. Sunday Clearlake Police officers were dispatched to the intersection of 33rd and Phillips avenues on the report of a collision involving a vehicle and numerous juveniles, Lenz said.
Once on scene, Lenz said officers determined a 2005 Dodge Dakota, driver by Vogt, had collided with a street legal enduro motorcycle ridden by two 15-year-old male juveniles.
Lenz said the driver of the motorcycle sustained moderate injuries as a result of the collision, while the rear passenger sustained major injuries.
Lake County Fire Protection District personnel arrived on scene and began treating the motorcycle riders for their injuries, Lenz said.
As a result of the investigation, Lenz said it was determined that Vogt – who had three juveniles in the rear seat of his vehicle – was following a red Ford Mustang while driving recklessly throughout the city of Clearlake prior to the collision.
Once on Phillips Avenue, the two vehicles proceeded southbound until they came up behind the motorcycle, according to Lenz's report.
Lenz said the driver of the Mustang crossed over the double yellow lines into the oncoming lane of traffic to pass the motorcycle.
While traveling at an unsafe speed, Vogt also crossed over the double yellow lines into the oncoming lane of traffic in an attempt to overtake the motorcycle and keep up with the Mustang he was following, Lenz said.
As Vogt was rapidly approaching the motorcycle, the motorcycle began to make a left turn onto 33rd Avenue in front of Vogt’s vehicle, at which time Vogt collided with it, Lenz said.
Lenz said both riders were ejected from the motorcycle. The driver of the motorcycle was transported and treated at St. Helena Hospital Clear Lake, while the passenger of the motorcycle was flown to an out-of-county hospital for medical treatment. Vogt was uninjured.
Phillips Avenue was shut down for several hours after the collision as the scene was investigated by Clearlake Police Department Traffic Officer Michael Perreault, according to Lenz.
Based on statements obtained and the evidence located at the scene of the collision, Lenz said it was determined Vogt caused the traffic accident by crossing over the double yellow lines while driving at an unsafe speed.
It does not appear alcohol or drugs contributed to the collision, Lenz said.
Vogt was arrested, transported and booked into the Lake County Jail, with his bail was set at $75,000. Jail records indicated he later was released.
He is tentatively set to appear in court on Aug. 16, according to his booking sheet.
Anyone with information in regard to this investigation is asked to contact Officer Perreault at the Clearlake Police Department at 707-994-8251, Extension 543.
KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – The popular Living History Day series continues at the Ely Stage Stop & Country Museum at noon on Saturday, June 25, with local biologist Dr. Harry Lyons.
On the fourth Saturday of each month local historians come to the main house to visit with guests and answer questions regarding different aspects of Lake County history.
As these visits are recorded, the stories of Lake County’s history are being preserved for future generations.
This month Dr. Harry Lyons, retired Yuba College biology professor, will join Ely guests for Living History Day.
Dr. Lyons will weave the stories of two nutrient-rich aquatic ecosystems, the Hudson River and Clear Lake, addressing the problems and promises of such rich biological communities.
Although differing in their geological and hydrologic histories, the two systems face similar problems with over-enrichment and point-source contamination.
Most feel the biological condition of the Hudson has improved; some feel the biological condition of Clear Lake has not.
Dr. Lyons’ talk will address whether political action taken on behalf of the Hudson River serves as a model for pushing improvement of water quality in Clear Lake, and will explore if there is a chance of success through political action dependent on the type of pollution and its causes.
He grew up swimming and fishing in the Hudson River. His life-long interest in water led him to pursue his PhD in oceanography from the Scripps Institution of the University of California after academic work at Rutgers and Stanford. He has lived by, sampled from, and swum in Clear Lake for over thirty-five years.
His talks are always peppered with the spirit of relevant songs. His presentation will begin at noon.
The Lake County Historical Society’s Ely Stage Stop & Country Museum is located at 9921 State Highway 281 (Soda Bay Road) in Kelseyville, near Clear Lake Riviera, just north of Highway 29-Kit’s Corner.
Current hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. each Saturday and Sunday. Private tours can be arranged by appointment.
