3D Mammography

​

2D Digital Mammography is currently the most common method used to

detect breast cancer. However research shows it can miss some cancers and

produce false positives, leading to further testing and unnecessary anxiety.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR EXAM:

Getting a 3D mammogram is the same process as getting a conventional 2D mammogram. The technologist will position you, compress your breast, and take images from different angles. There is no additional compression required with the 3D mammogram. It only takes a few extra seconds and has been proven to be more accurate that conventional 2D mammograms.

​

HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR 3D MAMMOGRAM:

• Bring original films or CDs of any previous
  mammograms not performed at our facilities
