Preparations- Breast Tomosynthesis (3D)

On the day of your breast Tomosynthesis (3D) exam at SMIL, you will need to undress from the waist up, so a two piece outfit is recommended. Do not wear deodorant, talcum powder, perfume or lotion under your arms or on your breasts on the day of your exam. These can sometimes appear on the images.

If you experience patterns of sensitivity in the breasts, be sure to schedule your breast Tomosynthesis (3D) exam when your breasts are least sensitive. You will experience slight pressure on the breasts during the breast Tomosynthesis (3D) exam.
