Digital and 3D tomosynthesis breast imaging, for screening and diagnostic work-up.
Mammography is low-dose X-ray of the breast, including 3D tomosynthesis, used to screen for and diagnose breast disease.
Early breast cancers, often before they can be felt, along with cysts, calcifications, and other changes that may need follow-up.
Each breast is briefly compressed between two plates while images are taken. Compression lasts only seconds per view and helps produce a clear, low-dose image.
Preparation varies by exam and by patient. Please follow the specific instructions provided by the imaging center where your study is scheduled, and let them know about any conditions (such as diabetes or kidney disease) that affect medications or eating.
