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.

This was the most welcoming office! From the front desk staff to the mammography technician and ultrasound technician, everyone was so reassuring, compassionate, and kind. They took the time to explain everything, answer questions, and make me feel completely at ease throughout the experience. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this location. Such an amazing team! Thank you for making what can be a stressful experience so comfortable and positive!

I was early as traffic was not as bad as I anticipated. They still got me in fast. Staff were very nice and very efficient. Had just been to Simon Med yesterday and SMIL was just such a better experience. The staff attitude of friendliness, knowledge and helpfulness really made the difference.

The new location is a big improvement. It's easy to find, with convenient parking, and the space is bright and roomy. It has a lighter air about it, and a different energy that complements the care they provide. The X-ray techs are always the best, and the front office staff are friendly, professional, and very helpful.
