                      Three-dimensional (3D) mammography is technology that helps detect breast cancer in its earliest stages, when it can be easier to treat and more curable.* For improved comfort, Woodland Heights Medical Center offers a curved compression device that mirrors the shape of a women's breast. This helps to reduce pinching and applies uniform compression over the entire breast.

                      3D mammography:

                      • Allows breast tissue to be viewed in 1-millimeter (1/32 of an inch) sections. According to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, 3D mammography can increase detection of invasive breast cancers by up to 40 percent (over traditional 2D mammography).
                      • Enhances visibility, which can decrease the need for additional images and reduce "call backs" and anxiety over false alarms.
                      • Is especially helpful for screening dense breasts, since the tissue can be viewed in paper-thin "slices" 3D technology complements standard 2D mammograms, and both images are captured with one exposure. Very low X-ray energy is used, and radiation exposure is within FDA guidelines.

                      *According to acr.org, breast tomosynthesis (3D) has shown to be an advance over digital (2D) mammography, with higher cancer detection rates and fewer patient recalls for additional testing.

                      If you have been diagnosed with dense breast tissue, visit our page about automated breast ultrasound.

                      Appointments are on a first-come, first-served basis. An order from a physician or qualified healthcare provider is required. All mammogram reports will be sent to the physician/provider, and the patient is responsible for follow-up. Check with your insurance provider to confirm coverage for a screening mammogram
