3D Mammogram in Glendale, California
Tomosynthesis imaging captures the breast in thin layers instead of one flat image, finding more cancers earlier and reducing false alarms. Same-day appointments, most insurance accepted.
What is a 3D mammogram?
A 3D mammogram, tomosynthesis, takes a series of low-dose images as the scanning arc moves in a gentle arc over the breast. Software then reconstructs those images into thin slices, so the radiologist can scroll through the breast layer by layer instead of reading one flattened picture.
That matters because overlapping normal tissue is the main reason findings hide, and the main reason healthy women get called back for extra imaging. Reviewing the breast slice by slice means real findings stand out earlier and normal overlap is recognized for what it is.
