The 3D exam is a procedure which can be performed at the same time as your regular mammogram.
The exam will take approximately 15 seconds longer than your regular mammogram.
We take pride in offering the highest quality care for our patients. We are the first to provide 3D mammography in Annapolis.
3D mammography results enhance clinical performance through:
The radiation dose is essentially the same as your regular mammogram. We have the latest software for this technology. It allows us to use the 3D data set to reconstruct your normal 2D mammogram views.
All patients stand to benefit from this technology regardless of breast density or family history. Early detection is the best defense against breast cancer. 3D mammography has been shown in clinical studies to be more accurate than conventional mammography.
3D is an optional service at this time. It is your choice to make. We communicated the new services to physicians and the feedback received has been very positive.
