Digital Mammography with Tomosynthesis (3D) is an advanced breast imaging technique that produces high-quality 3D images, allowing for precise detection of abnormalities. The procedure involves rotating the mammography machine around the breast to capture images from different angles, which are then combined into a detailed 3D view.
 
Benefits:
Enhanced Detection: Improves accuracy in identifying small lesions.
Reduced False Positives: More reliable than traditional mammography.
Comprehensive Imaging: Provides a clearer view of breast tissue.
 
Uses:
Screening for breast cancer, especially in women over 40.
Diagnosing lumps, nipple discharge, or other symptoms.
Monitoring after breast surgery or treatment.
 
Preparation:
Avoid creams or powders on the breast area before the exam.
Schedule after menstruation for less sensitivity.
Wear comfortable clothing for easy access.
 
This quick and effective procedure plays a crucial role in the early detection and management of breast conditions.
