Benefits and Risks- Breast Tomosynthesis (3D)

Benefits

  • Breast Tomosynthesis (3D) exams provide a way for Radiologists to view breast abnormalities from all angles to help diagnose problems.
  • When cancers are small, the woman has more treatment options and a cure is more likely.

Risks

  • There are risks associated with any exposure to radiation. However, the benefits outweigh the risk when mammography is done accurately using the lowest possible dose.
  • Breast Tomosynthesis (3D) is not recommended for women who are pregnant or could possibly be pregnant.

Had an MRI done here. All the staff were very friendly. I left the office and barely got home from the scam and my dr called telling me to get to the hospital right away. The radiologist had already contacted him with information from my scan. I am extremely grateful for their attention to detail and promptness.

This facility is amazing and all 3 ladies who took care of me today were wonderful! I’m pretty claustrophobic and was very nervous but the staff was so kind and I’m very very grateful!
