3-D Mammography Services
Community Hospital of Staunton is proud to offer advanced 3-D mammography, also known as breast tomosynthesis. This state-of-the-art technology is a powerful tool in the early detection of breast cancer, using multiple angled images to create a three-dimensional view of the breast. This allows our doctors to "look through" tissue more effectively, pinpointing suspect cells and tumor masses with greater accuracy. 3-D mammography enhances detection, especially in dense breast tissue, leading to earlier diagnoses and more reliable results.
A study published in the National Library of Medicine, evaluating 450,000 mammograms, showed that 3-D mammography not only reduced false positives but also increased the detection of tumors.
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among women, after lung cancer, according to the American Cancer Society. Early detection is crucial for improving survival rates. To schedule your 3-D mammogram at Community Hospital of Staunton, please call 618.635.4305.
