3D Mammography

3D mammography is a relatively new method of breast imaging. As with traditional mammography, 3D mammography uses X-rays to create images of breast tissue to detect lumps, tumors, or other abnormalities. 3D mammography can produce more detailed pictures of breast tissue.

3D captures several discs of chests, all from different angles. The images merge into three-dimensional crystalline breast reconstruction. Then, the radiologist can examine the restoration, one slide at a time, almost like flipping a book over. Therefore, doctors can see if there is anything to fear.

3D-mammography is a revolutionary new tool for detection and diagnosis for the early detection of breast cancer improvement.

Why is 3D mammography done?

Traditional mammography provides only two images of each breast, side by side and top to bottom. 3D mammography generates multiple chest x-rays from various angles to produce a three-dimensional digital representation of the internal breast tissue. It allows radiologists to see the breast in 1-millimetre cuts instead of the total thickness of the upper and lateral sides.

Three-dimensional mammography can be used for routine mammography screening and may be particularly useful for women with dense chest or people at high risk of developing breast cancer.

Who should have three-dimensional mammography and why?

Any woman who needs breast research should consider a three-dimensional mammogram. Especially women with a thick chest can benefit from this because they convey a brighter image. The use of a three-dimensional mammogram allows doctors to detect early breast cancer. And it helps us see the size of a tumor much better than the usual mammogram. It reduces the likelihood that doctors will receive false positive results.

What are the risks of 3D mammography?

A 3D mammogram produces the same amount of radiation as an ordinary mammogram. It is not dangerous for the patient.

What can women expect?

Women observe only minor differences between 3D mammography and traditional screening. A tube that captures X-ray radiation sweeps the chest with a bow. The image takes about four seconds, a little longer than a digital mammogram.

Three-dimensional mammography provides more images, so radiologists need a little more time to read a digital representation of the mammogram, but the original procedure is almost the same.
