The Center for Diagnostic Imaging Explains the Importance of 3D Mammography for Adequate Breast Screening

MIAMI, October 30, 2018 (Newswire.com) - The Center for Diagnostic Imaging explains the importance of using 3D Mammography for adequate breast screening. Breast cancer is on the rise, and early detection can make the difference between developing full stage breast cancer and destroying it before it metastasizes.  

One of the most effective medical imaging scans for breast cancer detection is the 3D Mammogram. The 3D Mammogram combines conventional 2-dimensional mammogram images with additional 3-dimensional views. This enabled enhanced views of breast tissue and is more reliable over traditional mammography. 

How Does it Work?

Fifteen consecutive images are taken from different angles across the arc of the breast to produce a 3D image. This clarity helps identify potentially cancerous lesions with more accuracy because the images are taken at different angles.

5 Additional Benefits of Using 3D Mammography:

1. Simple detection shows the interior of the breast without distortions and shadowing
2. Faster detection Because thin layers are shown separately; it is easier to identify whether lesions are benign or harmful.
3. Increased comfort because 2D and 3D images can be produced in a single compression.
4. Improved imaging for dense breast tissue
5. Fewer callbacks for additional tests

Early detection is critical for the treatment of breast cancer. With 3D Mammography, detection is both faster and more accurate than the 2D images. While they typically cost an additional $50 to $100, many patients feel the expense is worth the peace of mind.

At the Center for Diagnostic Imaging's Comprehensive Breast Care Centers, we believe so strongly in the benefits of 3D mammography that we became the first imaging center in South Florida to offer the technology for breast cancer screening.
