3D Mammography (Tomosynthesis)

3D mammography, also known as tomosynthesis, is an advanced imaging technique used to screen for breast cancer. Unlike traditional 2D mammograms that capture flat images, 3D mammography takes multiple X-ray pictures of the breast from different angles, creating a series of detailed layers. This allows radiologists to view the breast in much finer detail, making it easier to detect tumors and abnormalities that may be hidden in dense breast tissue. By providing clearer images, 3D mammography can improve detection rates and reduce the likelihood of false alarms and the need for additional tests.
