Mammography with tomosynthesis (3D)

For the prevention of breast cancer: 3D mammography with Tomosynthesiscontact us for information

3D mammography is an essential test for the prevention of breast cancer, to detect lesions in early stages, in the form of nodules with irregular margins. Although the test uses ionizing radiation, today the dose needed is very low.Contact the Federico Radiology Studio in Cosenza: call, send an email or fill out the contact form to book a 3D mammography.

Mammographic examination with tomosynthesis

Mammography with Tomosynthesis (3D) is an even more sophisticated diagnostic method than mammography (2D) which, thanks to a rapid and painless low-dose X-ray scan, is able to acquire three-dimensional images of the breast and also detects tumor lesions. very small in size.

With 3D mammography, therefore, everything that traditional mammography misses can be highlighted, thanks to the combination of digital images acquired. The reconstruction is in fact stratified, minimizing or completely eliminating the problems caused by tissue overlap, which can represent an obstacle to diagnosis.

The advantages of 3D mammography with tomosynthesis

In short, the benefits of 3D mammography are as follows:

41% more detections of invasive breast lesions
40% fewer false positives
the more complete evaluation of the picture, especially in young and dense breasts, and more accuracy in detecting small lesions
the speed of the scan, which lasts only a few seconds
the reduction of more invasive level II and III tests, such as fine needle aspirates, biopsies, mammograms.
