3-D Tomosynthesis Mammography

This new technology allows our radiologists to see the breast tissue from many different angles and between layers of breast tissue. It may be used for a screening tool in conjunction with a traditional Digital Mammogram, or it may be used by itself for a Diagnostic Mammogram.  Benefits include:

• Earlier detection of small breast cancers that may be hidden during digital mammography
• Greater accuracy in pinpointing size, shape and location of abnormalities
• Fewer unnecessary biopsies or additional tests
• Greater likelihood of detecting multiple breast tumors, which occur in 15% of breast cancer patients
• Clearer images of dense breast tissue
