Screening mammograms help providers identify potential breast cancer at an earlier stage, when chances of long-term survival are the highest.

The advantages of 3D mammography include:

• Accuracy: 3D mammograms are more accurate than traditional 2D scans, giving you peace of mind with results you can trust and reducing the need for follow-up imaging and additional trips to the hospital.
• Comfort: 3D mammogram machines are thoughtfully designed to provide a more comfortable experience compared to 2D scans. The curved design of 3D mammography machines reduces pinching and compression time to deliver a more comfortable screening.
• Improved early detection: Advanced imaging technology enables 3D mammograms to detect cancer at an earlier stage.
• Safety: 3D mammography machines emit a low and safe level of radiation throughout the screening process.

Yearly screening mammograms are recommended for most women beginning at age 45, but your physician may recommend beginning earlier depending on your medical history or other risk factors. Talk with your physician about the importance of yearly mammograms and when you should begin regular screenings.
