Why is there a need for tomosynthesis breast exams? What are the benefits?

Tomosynthesis, or '3D' mammography, improves upon standard 2D mammography by providing clearer images that reduce tissue overlap. This technology helps increase breast cancer detection rates by about 25% and lowers the likelihood of false positive callbacks by around 15%.

What is the difference between a screening and diagnostic mammogram?

A screening mammogram is for women without breast cancer symptoms, while a diagnostic mammogram is conducted when a woman has been called back after a screening or presents with visible symptoms such as a lump.

Is the Diagnostic Breast Center an accredited facility?

Yes, the Diagnostic Breast Center is accredited by the American College of Radiology (ACR) and a certified FDA Mammography Facility.
