Why Choose 3D Digital Mammography ?
What is Digital Mammography?
Digital mammography is a modern imaging technique that uses digital detectors and advanced computing systems instead of traditional X-ray film to screen breast tissue for abnormalities, including breast cancer.
Limitations of Conventional Mammography:
- Lower sensitivity, especially in women with dense breast tissue
- High false-positive rates, sometimes requiring unnecessary follow-up tests or biopsies
- Increased anxiety and costs due to additional investigations
- Motion artifacts leading to repeat scans
Benefits of 3D Digital Mammography:
- For Patients:
- Low Radiation Dose with Full Field Digital Mammography (FFDM)
- Faster Scanning & Reporting with reduced motion-related repeat scans
- Fewer Additional Views Needed, improving patient comfort
- Efficient Record Keeping for easy tracking and follow-up
- For Patients:
- Improved Contrast and Image Clarity
- Enhanced Detection of Lesions and better visibility in dense breast tissue
- Precise Localization and Margin Analysis of suspicious areas
- Higher Sensitivity and Specificity, reducing false positives and unnecessary biopsies
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is 3D Digital Mammography?
3D Digital Mammography is an advanced imaging technique that creates a three-dimensional view of the breast. It improves the accuracy of breast cancer detection by minimizing the issue of overlapping breast tissues.
2. Is 3D Mammography safe?
Yes. It uses a low dose of radiation comparable to standard digital mammography but provides much clearer and more detailed images, making it both safe and more effective.
3. Who should get a mammogram?
Routine screening is recommended for women starting at age 40, or earlier for those with a family history of breast cancer or other risk factors. Please consult your doctor for personalized advice.
4. What if I have dense breast tissue?
3D mammography is especially beneficial for women with dense breasts. It provides better visualization and improves detection rates compared to traditional 2D mammography.
5. How long does the mammogram procedure take?
The entire process usually takes 15–20 minutes, including preparation. The actual imaging time is just a few minutes.
6. What happens if something abnormal is found?
If any abnormality is detected, we may recommend further tests such as ultrasound, MRI, or biopsy (e.g., core needle or vacuum-assisted biopsy). Our team will guide you through every step for prompt and accurate diagnosis.
