3D Mammography

What is a 3D Mammogram?

A 3D mammogram is an advanced imaging technique used to screen for breast cancer.

During a 3D mammogram, multiple X-ray images are taken from different angles and combined to create a detailed, three-dimensional view of your breast tissue. This allows for more accurate detection compared to traditional screening mammograms.

Benefits of 3D Mammograms

Approved by the FDA

3D mammography is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a clinically advanced option compared to traditional mammography. This approval provides confidence for both you and your care team in the effectiveness of 3D breast imaging.

Detects Invasive Cancer Sooner

Compared to conventional 2D mammography, 3D mammography has been shown to increase invasive breast cancer detection rates by up to 41%. The ability to view breast tissue in thin layers helps radiologists identify abnormalities more accurately and at earlier stages.

Reduces False Positives

3D mammography can reduce false-positive results by up to 40%, meaning fewer unnecessary callbacks for additional imaging. This helps minimize extra appointments, reduces the need for follow-up procedures or biopsies, and lowers stress and uncertainty during the screening process.
