What is 3d mammography? 3d mammography or tomosynthesis.

This is an exciting new technology which allows phyisicans to view breast tissue layer by layer, in multiple images rather than relying on traditional flat 2d digital image. These multiple images help doctors see suspicious masses more clearly. Especially, in women with dense breast tissue.

Fine details are more visible and are no longer hidden by the tissue above or below the part of the breast being examined.

Think of it as looking at a book - a traditional 2d mammogram is like looking at a book's cover. You really can't see what lies beyond the cover until you open the book. 3d allows us to open the book, and view individual pages.

What does that mean for you?

It means earlier detection of cancer with fewer false alarms. Schedule your mammogram. [ Ссылка ]
