What you need to know about 3D mammograms
Why choose 3D mammograms?
Traditional mammograms use four images -- two on each side -- to create 2D images of the breast. 3D mammograms use many images from several angles of the breast to create much more detailed, three-dimensional, images of breast tissue that reveal more detail, such as very small distortions and masses. These images give a more complete picture, resulting in higher cancer detection rates and lower false positives.
Why use our breast centers?
Mammograms are easy to schedule at Atlantic Health. All sites offer the SmartCurve® breast paddle for greater patient comfort.
3D mammograms save lives
Women who receive regular breast screenings have a lower breast cancer death rate. Among screening methods, digital breast tomosynthesis offers an improved cancer detection rate of nearly 30 percent.
If you are over 40 or have a family history of breast cancer, scheduling regular screenings is one of the most important things you can do to protect your health.
