3D Mammography

What is 3D Mammography?

Otherwise known as tomosynthesis, 3D Mammography enables our radiologists view breast tissue layer by layer, helping them to see inside the breast with previously unimaginable detail, especially in areas with overlapping tissue. 3D mammography is available for all women seeking screening mammograms, but it’s also recommended for women who have a family history of breast cancer, who had previous breast biopsies, and/or have dense breasts.

The 3D mammogram experience is very similar to that of a traditional mammogram. Like a traditional mammogram, the technologist will position you, compress your breast and take images from different angles. It takes just a few seconds longer for each image.

Take advantage of the improved sensitivity and accuracy you can only get from 3D mammography…

• GREATER CLARITY to detect breast cancer at earlier, more treatable stages
• FEWER FALSE POSITIVES reducing unnecessary biopsies or additional tests
• GREATER ACCURACY to pinpoint the exact size, shape and location of abnormalities
