How 3D Mammography Works
Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (3D Mammography) is FDA-approved. It gives radiologists a three-dimensional image of the breast. Breasts are composed of pockets of dense tissue surrounded by fat, and when x-rayed it creates an image that has overlapping tissue making it difficult to see tiny microcalcifications, and other subtle signs of early cancer.
3D mammography allows our radiologists to see detail in a way never before possible – and that’s important to you because it allows cancer to be detected at its earliest and most treatable stage.
What to Expect During Your 3D Mammography
You will not notice any difference between a traditional 2D mammogram and a 3D mammogram except the imaging with 3D is a little quicker and we use comfort curve smart paddles to make the exam more comfortable. 3D mammography provides the best image possible of your breast and the earliest detection possible.
Who Should Have 3D Mammography
3D mammography is approved for all women who would be undergoing a standard mammogram, in both the screening and diagnostic settings. It is especially beneficial for women with dense breast tissue.
