In summary, mammography works. Even with traditional 2D mammograms as early as 2001, it showed that prompt annual mammography has the ability to reduce breast cancer deaths by almost 50%[1]<\/sup>. 2D mammography is the older technology. It takes only two images \u2013 one from top and the other from the side of the breast. It may miss overlapping tumors between the tissues, if any.<\/p>\n

3D mammography exam is the latest technology. It takes many images from different angles, and provides clearer, more detailed pictures.<\/p>\n

The key benefits of 3D mammography are as below:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. 3D mammography helps doctors see more clearly through the breast tissue and discover any tiny tumors that might be \u201chiding\u201d, which were not visible on 2D mammogram, or on other modalities such as sonography (ultrasound).<\/li>\n
  2. 3D mammography significantly reduces recall rates[1]<\/sup>\u00a0for any unnecessary additional tests.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
