State-of-the-art 3D mammography (tomosynthesis) is approved for all women who would undergo a standard mammogram
No additional compression required
Highly trained and compassionate technical and nursing staff
Detects 41% more invasive breast cancers
High-volume breast imaging center, ensuring quality imaging and experienced physicians
What to expect during the exam :
A 3D mammography exam is very similar to having a conventional 2D mammogram. Like a 2D mammogram, the technologist will position you, compress your breast, and take images from different angles.
During the 3D mammogram, the x-ray arm sweeps in a slight arc over the breast, taking multiple breast images in just seconds.
There’s no additional compression required with the 3D exam, and it only takes a few seconds longer for each view.
The technologist will view the images of your breasts at the computer workstation to ensure quality images have been captured for review. A radiologist will then examine the images and report results to either your physician or directly to you.
