3-D Mammography (Digital Breast Tomosynthesis)
What is 3-D Mammography?
3-D mammography, also known as digital breast tomosynthesis, is a cutting-edge imaging technology that creates a three-dimensional picture of the breast using multiple X-ray images taken from different angles. Unlike traditional 2-D mammograms, which capture a flat image, 3-D mammography provides a more detailed view of breast tissue, allowing radiologists to examine the breast layer by layer.
Benefits of 3-D Mammography:
-
Greater Accuracy: Improves early detection of breast cancer by reducing overlapping tissue that can hide abnormalities.
-
Fewer Callbacks: Reduces the need for follow-up imaging due to clearer, more precise images.
-
Better for Dense Breasts: Offers enhanced visibility in women with dense breast tissue, where traditional mammograms may be limited.
-
Comfortable and Quick: Similar in feel and duration to a standard mammogram, but with superior diagnostic capabilities.
