3D Mammography coming to Birmingham OB/Gyn
Early diagnosis is a life saver
BIRMINGHAM, AL (March 19, 2015) – Birmingham OB/Gyn introduces breast tomosynthesis or 3D mammography at its Grandview Medical Center Birmingham location providing women with convenient, local access to this state-of-the-art technology. Conventional mammography images the entire breast in one exposure, resulting in a 2D picture in which features can be hidden by overlapping tissue. 3D mammography takes images from multiple angles and uses computer processing to build these “slices” into a 3D image that a radiologist can manipulate to get a clearer view. To schedule your 3D mammogram appointment at Birmingham OB/Gyn please visit our website, https://birminghamobgyn.com, or call (205) 933-8334.
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among women, exceeded only by lung cancer. One in eight women will develop breast cancer sometime in her lifetime. Early detection is the key to survival. 3D mammography has been shown to improve detection of invasive cancers by 41 percent over conventional 2D mammography and reduce unnecessary callbacks and follow-up tests by 40 percent. The exam benefits all women, including those with dense breasts.
