Call us today to schedule your 3D Mammogram!

We’re conveniently located on the Baptist Health Campus and offer 3D screening mammography on an outpatient basis, and we’re always just a phone call away if you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment for an annual women’s health exam. 3D mammograms only take slightly longer than a traditional mammogram and yield significantly more diagnostic information. Clinical studies have indicated that combining a 3D mammogram with a standard mammogram results in more successful diagnoses than a standard mammogram alone.

The procedure involves taking multiple images, or X-rays, of breast tissue to recreate a three-dimensional picture of the breast. Breast tissue is composed of milk glands, milk ducts, and both supportive (dense) and fatty tissues. One of the limitations of traditional mammography is that dense breast tissue and cancers both appear white, making it difficult for doctors and radiologists to obtain an accurate reading. 3D mammography enables diagnosticians to see beyond areas of density and detect cancers that might otherwise be missed. Additionally, doctors often recommend additional imaging whenever standard mammograms show abnormalities. Combining 3D mammography with a standard mammogram typically obviates the need for follow-up imaging.

Be sure to discuss your medical history, family history, and other relevant factors to determine when to start scheduling annual mammograms. You should also perform a monthly Breast Self-Exam (BSE) approximately 7-10 days after each period or on any day each month that you can easily remember if you’ve already reached menopause. Call us immediately if your breast tissues suddenly feel different or you experience any unusual discharge.
