For the entire month of
October, University
Diagnostic Medical
Imaging, P.C. (U.D.M.I)
will be holding an in-office
fundraiser to raise money
for breast cancer awareness.
We are continuing
our efforts after a successful
run last year. We will be
selling specially designed
journals for $5 each. All proceeds
will be donated to The
American Cancer Society
Making Strides to support
the ongoing mission to end
breast cancer.
U.D.M.I is a full service
diagnostic radiology facility
that has been screening
women for breast cancer for
more than 30 years. On average,
U.D.M.I performs 18,000
mammograms a year. They
have an entire department
dedicated to Women’s Imaging
that performs: mammography,
breast ultrasound, breast
MRI and procedures such as
breast biopsy. Furthermore,
all of U.D.M.Is radiologists
on staff are MQSA-certifi ed,
which means they have the required
training and expertise
to interpret mammograms as
defi ned by the FDA along with
the National Mammography
Quality Assurance Advisory
Committee. Providing quality
medicine to the often underserved
Bronx community is
the passion and driving force
of U.D.M.I.
U.D.M.I has been a longstanding
supporter of The
American Cancer Society’s
Making Strides against
Breast Cancer because their
missions are aligned – to increase
awareness, early detection
and treatment of this disease.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic,
many women delayed
their annual breast cancer
screening resulting in a spike

“Over the last year we have
seen a decrease of about 20-
30% of screenings compared
to prior years,” said Dr. Daniel
Gurell, associate medical
director at U.D.M.I. “Covid-19
should not prevent you from
getting a mammogram, neither
should getting the vaccine.
If anything, getting vaccinated
should encourage you
to come in.”
It is more imperative than
ever to spread the word about
the benefi ts of screening.
U.D.M.I hopes that the fundraiser
coupled with several
other patient outreach efforts
will compel women to resume
care. Because simply put,
screening saves lives.
