Women’s Clinic of Lincoln, PC is proud to offer patients 3D Mammography, also known as breast tomosynthesis, for breast cancer screening. 3D mammography is the latest in breast imaging technology and the Hologic Dimensions® 3-D system is the first and only clinically superior mammography imaging system to be approved by the FDA. This technology gives radiologists the ability to identify and characterize individual breast structures without the confusion of overlapping tissue.
The 3D mammography experience is similar to a traditional 2D mammogram. There’s no additional compression required and it only takes a few seconds longer for each view. The exposure to x-ray energy remains very low and is well within the safety standards for mammography. By using this technology providers expect greater accuracy, earlier detection, fewer callbacks for additional imaging, and reduced false positives.
The Mammography Department at Women’s Clinic of Lincoln is accredited through ACR and is committed to providing their patients with the latest technological advances in breast health. 3D mammography is another powerful tool in early detection of breast cancer and we hope all women will be inspired to learn more about the benefits of 3D mammography and early detection of breast cancer.
