2D and 3D Mammography
We offer both 2D and 3D mammography. While most patients won't notice a difference between the two, 2D mammography takes traditional images from the top, bottom and side, while 3D mammography creates slices of images, similar to a CT scanner. 2D mammography continues to be the standard of treatment for most women, but some women may benefit from a 3D mammogram, including women with dense breasts. Because of the slices, 3D mammography can produce clearer images, which can reduce stressful callbacks for repeat screenings. Even more importantly, 3D mammography can increase early detection of invasive cancer. Talk with your doctor about whether a 2D or 3D mammogram is most appropriate for you.
