Story
The Breast Center will provide a comprehensive clinical experience including a full range of breast/mammography services in one location. One key enhancement will be 3D Mammography. A 3D exam is unlike 2D mammography in that it is able to deliver a series of detailed breast images, allowing doctors to more clearly evaluate breast tissue layer by layer.
Studies have shown that this exam has greater accuracy for diagnosing cancer in women across a variety of ages and breast densities.
The benefits of using this technology include:
Its fast. It only takes 3.7 seconds to conduct a 3D scan
41% increase in detection of invasive cancers
40% reduction in call backs due to inconclusive results
Detection of cancer 15 months sooner than 2D mammography alone
Project Goals
* Access to quality cancer services close to home
* Increase in early detection rates and better outcomes
* Reduce call back rates and lower cost for treatment
