Breast Tomosynthesis 3D

Breast tomosynthesis, also called 3-D mammography, the latest mammography technology, can produce three-dimensional images of the breast, which leads to better cancer screening and detection. Using this procedure, the breast is viewed as many thin slices, which can be combined into a 3-D picture.

The benefits of 3-D mammography include:

• Better visualization leading to earlier detection of abnormalities in the breast
• Clearer images provide a greater level of detail in examining your breast
• Fewer unnecessary biopsies
