3D Mammography Screening Technology
The future of breast cancer detection is here, and it’s crystal clear.
3D Mammography, also known as digital breast tomosynthesis, is a procedure that can detect breast cancer in its earliest, most treatable stages. You will find the experience is comparable to a conventional 2D mammogram, but the result is multiple images in a less than 4-second scan. When breast cancer is caught early, before it has spread, the five-year survival rate is almost 100 percent.
3D Mammography Advantages
- 27% higher chances of detection of early breast cancer
- Fewer callbacks for additional imaging.
- Improved quality of images for radiologists
- Up to a 41% increase in the detection of invasive breast cancers
2D vs. 3D: What’s the Difference?
2D Mammography captures one image from above and one from the side.
3D Mammography takes 15 images in an arc, creating multiple thin slices of breast tissue.
