3D mammography is a type of digital mammography which uses advanced technology to take images of your breast from different angles and combine them to create a more complete and accurate image of your breast than is possible with regular 2D digital mammography.
3D mammography follows the same basic procedure that you're probably accustomed to with regular 2D digital mammography. 3D只会多持续几秒钟, slightly extending the time of minor discomfort you may feel and the low-risk radiation exposure involved with all forms of digital mammography.
One in eight women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. The sooner breast cancer is identified, the easier it is to treat. When it’s detected early, breast cancer has a five-year survival rate of 100%. Mammograms can detect breast cancer even before symptoms appear.
Annual mammograms are recommended for all women ages 40 and older. If you are younger than 40 but are at high risk for breast cancer based on your family history or health background, 你可能需要在更早的年龄开始筛查. Talk with your doctor about what screening schedule is best for you.
The more complete and accurate image of your breast generated by 3D mammography allows us to detect breast cancer earlier and more effectively than traditional 2D mammography, 这样我们就可以采取行动帮助你们.
3D mammography is particularly effective if you have dense breast tissue or have been given a previous cancer or lesion diagnosis.
And 3D mammography's higher accuracy means fewer unnecessary return visits to the doctor for false positives that turn out to be non-cancerous.
