3D Mammography
A Better Mammogram
What is a Mammogram Exam?
Mammogram and breast cancer screening is specialized medical imaging that uses a low-dose x-ray system to see inside the breasts. 3d mammogram aids in the early detection and diagnosis of breast diseases in women.
Heartland Imaging is proud to offer screening and diagnostic mammograms using state-of-the-art 2D and 3D mammography technology.
During a 3D mammogram multiple breast images are taken from different angles producing a series of one-millimeter thick slices that create a 3D image of the breast. This provides greater visibility for the radiologist to see breast detail, increasing the likelihood of spotting abnormalities and a greater confidence to rule out benign tumors as cancerous. In addition, 3D mammography finds cancers earlier than 2D mammography alone, with a 27% increase in cancer detection and a 40% increase in invasive cancer detection. The very low X-ray energy used for 3D mammography is below the FDA guidelines.
