What is 3D Mammography?

This is one of the modern methods, which helps in the analysis of dense breast cancer. It is mostly used in cases of breast cancer, where analysing the tissue is imperative for treatment. There are a lot of alternatives to this method, namely traditional mammography

, automated whole breast ultrasound, and breast magnetic resonance.

Each of them are significant in the following ways:

Conventional: Doctors consider it as one of the most dependable methods to detect breast cancer. This is because it is deft in catching the early signs of the disease, which help in preventing the case altogether. It helps in getting high-quality images of the tissue area and analysing the next step to be taken. It is a no-brainer that catching the early signs will help in getting diagnosed properly, and cheaply. The best thing though, is that it allows other steps to be taken if it fails.

3-dimensional: Also known as tomosynthesis, it is a proud result of years of medical advancements. 

3D mammography screens the concerned area efficiently, withoutthe hassle of the shadows of nearby organs or tissues. This helps the radiologists in getting a distortion-free image.

Automated whole breast ultrasound: The accuracy of this technique makes it the most demanded in the world at the moment. Younger females are difficult to analyse for dense breast condition and this poses a challenge. But this method solves all the problems and helps in seeing through the organs and tissues to properly view the targeted area. It takes less than twelve minutes for the process to complete and is complete painless.

Breast MRI: Uses magnets to create images of the area, and is one of the most prevalent methods known.
