3D mammography, also known as digital breast tomosynthesis, is an advanced technology used for breast cancer screening.
- A mammogram offering higher breast cancer detection
- Better visualization of breast tissue using 3D image slices
- Beneficial for ALL patients, especially those with dense breast tissue or at a higher risk of breast cancer
- No additional radiation compared to a 2D digital mammogram
During a 3D mammogram, the mammography machine takes multiple images of the breast from different angles. These images are then used to create a three-dimensional picture of the breast tissue. This allows the doctor to examine the breast tissue in more detail, layer by layer.
3D mammography offers improved cancer detection with fewer unnecessary callbacks or extra pictures compared with a traditional 2D mammogram. This means less anxiety and more peace of mind for you.
