About 3D Mammography
[/vc_column_text][mkd_separator position=”left” color=”#88bfb1″ width=”10%” thickness=”2″ top_margin=”20px” bottom_margin=”0″][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][vc_column_text]During a 3D digital mammography, an x-ray arm sweeps over the breast, capturing several images from different angles. These images are then displayed as a series of thin slices that can be viewed by our radiologists as individual images or synthesized into a 3D image set. 3D mammography is known to detect 41% more invasive breast cancers than traditional methods while reducing false positives by 40%.

Preparing for Your 3D Mammography

- Before scheduling a 3D digital mammogram, the American Cancer Society (ACS) and other specialty organizations recommend that you discuss any new findings or problems in your breasts with your doctor. In addition, inform your doctor of any prior surgeries, hormone use, and family or personal history of breast cancer.
- Do not schedule your mammogram for the week before your menstrual period if your breasts are usually tender during this time. The best time for a mammogram is one week following your period.
- Always inform your doctor or x-ray technologist if there is any possibility that you are pregnant.
- The ACS also recommends you do not wear deodorant, talcum powder, or lotion under your arms or on your breasts on the day of the exam. These can appear on the mammogram as calcium spots.
- Obtain your prior mammograms and make them available to the radiologist if they were done at a different location. This is needed for comparison with your current exam and can often be obtained on a CD.
