Why 3D Mammography?
One in 8 women will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. 3-D mammography is an important tool for detecting the first signs of breast cancer. In comparison to traditional 2-D technology, 3-D mammography:
-
Has a 41% increase in the detection of invasive breast cancers
-
20-40% decrease in women being recalled for additional imaging
-
Can detect breast cancer up to 15 months earlier than 2-D technology
-
provides a clearer picture of breast structures and tissues
