3D Digital Mammography
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women. Medical Center Enterprise provides helpful services to educate women on breast health and encourage self-exams and routine screenings. We utilize imaging technology that may detect breast cancer at the earliest stages, when treatment can be most effective. The combination of caring technologists and imaging technology allows us to deliver quality care.
Mammography is an X-ray exam of the breasts used to screen for or diagnose breast cancer. Medical Center Enterprise offers 3D digital imaging technology, also called "breast tomosynthesis." With 3D digital technology, radiologists can view the breast tissue in 1 millimeter slices, allowing them to see abnormal findings even earlier. Typically, screening mammograms are interpreted the same day by a board-certified radiologist and normal results are mailed to the patient within two business days. When the radiologist identifies an abnormal finding on a mammogram and recommends additional imaging, the patient navigator calls the patient to arrange for a follow up appointment. 3D digital mammography can offer numerous benefits to women, including:
-
Improved accuracy of screening exams, especially for women with dense breast tissue.
-
Less radiation exposure.
-
Greater image quality, reducing the need for repeat exams.
