Story
As many of you know, I was diagnosed with breast cancer in September 2020. Because I had access to 3D Mammogram, I was diagnosed early and am now CANCER FREE one year later! Please help me bring this technology to North Baldwin Infirmary and ensure women have access to the quality healthcare they deserve.
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 scan41% increase in detection of invasive cancers40% reduction in call backs due to inconclusive resultsDetection 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 Give Health and donate today!
