Women should begin yearly mammogram screenings at age 40. For some women, certain factors increase the risk for developing breast cancer and additional screening measures may be necessary. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about one in eight women will get breast cancer in her life, impacting hundreds of thousands of Americans each year. A screening mammogram continues to be the best tool for breast cancer detection.
3D mammography utilizes advanced breast tomosynthesis technology. 3D mammography can increase the detection of breast cancers, while simultaneously decreasing the likelihood that a woman will be asked to return for additional testing. According to the FDA, a number of studies have found that 3D mammograms find more cancers than traditional 2D mammograms and that they also reduce the number of false positives.
This technology is considered superior to conventional digital mammography and is approved by the FDA. 3D mammography is recommended for women of all breast density levels. Researchers have found that:
• 3D Mammography exams find 20-65% more invasive breast cancers compared to 2D alone.
• 3D Mammography is FDA approved as superior for women with dense breasts compare to 2D alone.
• 3D Mammography exams reduce callbacks by up to 40% compared to 2D alone.
