Mammography 3D

Utilizing cutting-edge technology, this technique captures a series of thin cross-sectional images, enabling a three-dimensional reconstruction of breast tissue. By eliminating the superimposition of structures that can obscure abnormalities, it enhances the detection of subtle lesions, calcifications, and early signs of breast cancer.

Recommended for:

  • Patients over their 40s

It is highly recommended to undergo both ultrasound and mammography for greater accuracy and detection of breast cancer in women.

 

What are the Benefits of 3D Mammography?

  • Enhances the accuracy of breast cancer detection, particularly in cases of dense breast tissue.
  • Detect cancers at smaller sizes and earlier stages, increasing the likelihood of less invasive treatment options and improved outcomes.
  • Reduces false positives by providing more precise information about potential abnormalities, leading to fewer unnecessary follow-up tests.
  • Captures multiple images of the breast from different angles and helps uncover these hidden cancers, improving overall detection rates.
  • Beneficial for women with dense breast tissue, who are at a higher risk of breast cancer. 
  • Targeting the precise area, improving the accuracy of the procedure.
  • Timely interventions and treatments, potentially saving lives.

Your diagnostic imaging results will be emailed to you after 6 working days. This duration is typically longer than our other diagnostic imaging services because this includes a Double-Reading Method by Japanese Medical Experts. You can also request a physical copy of your results, which you will need to pick up from our diagnostic center.
