3D Mammography with diagnostic capabilities and breast US
3D mammography for accurate detection
Our imaging team offers 3D mammography, the latest and most advanced breast imaging technology available.
3D mammography, which provides more detail than a traditional mammogram, takes multiple images, or X-rays, of breast tissue to recreate a 3-dimensional picture of the breast. The Food and Drug Administration-approved technology is considered the most significant improvement in mammography in the past 30 years.
Screenings are quick and normally take only 10 to 15 minutes.
3D mammography can detect 20-65% more invasive cancers than a traditional mammogram. All women, especially those with dense breast tissue, should consider 3D mammography for their breast screening. 3D mammograms make it possible for radiologists to detect the difference between cancerous and noncancerous breast tissue, especially in women with dense breasts.
The local community and Pawnee Valley Community Hospital Foundation together raised the funds in less than a year toward the purchase of the equipment.
