3D Mammography

3D mammography is a revolutionary screening and diagnostic breast imaging tool to improve the early detection of breast cancer.  It is an FDA approved advanced technology that takes multiple images, or X-rays, of breast tissue to recreate a 3-D picture of the breast, unlike traditional mammography that only takes a single image.

Two of the top benefits are improving the early detection of breast cancer and providing peace of mind due to greater clarity and improved accuracy.  The increased accuracy reduces call-backs and spares women the anxiety, inconvenience and expense of coming back for further imaging.  The multiple images give our radiologists clearer images which makes it easier to detect breast cancer, even in dense breasts.

Who Should Have Mammograms?

The American Cancer Society recommends that all women have a baseline screening mammogram between the age of 35 and 40 and that beginning at the age of 40, women have an annual screening mammogram. In addition to annual screening for women 40 and older, women with certain risk factors should discuss an appropriate screening program with their physician.

Are Mammograms Painful?

Breast compression may cause some discomfort for a brief time during each x-ray, but it should not be painful. Breast compression helps obtain better x-rays by:

  • Flattening the breast so that the maximum amount of tissue can be examined.
  • Allowing a lower x-ray dose to be used, since the x-ray beams pass through a thinner amount of tissue
  • Holding the breast in place to prevent blurring caused by motion.

If you have sensitive breasts, schedule your mammogram the week after a period is when breasts are less tender.

Risk Factors For Breast Cancer

  • Family or personal history of breast cancer
  • Early menstrual onset/late onset menopause
  • Use of oral contraceptives
  • Use of hormone replacement therapy
  • Alcohol use (2 or more drinks/day)

  • Helping our patients understand their diagnosis, treatment options, and care plans

    Doctor Top Tips for Healthy Breasts Every woman’s experience with her breasts is similarly unique. While one person may have dramatic changes in the appearance and feel of her breasts over time related to menstrual cycle, pregnancy, birth control pills, age and weight changes, others may never be aware of symptoms. It helps to become comfortable with the appearance and feel of your own breasts so that you can be confident when there is a change you want to discuss with your doctor. If you feel a lump, don’t wait. Make the call.
