3-D Mammography



Are you ignoring possible signs of cancer?

Since cancer encompasses such a large group of diseases, it can cause almost any sign or symptom. Sometimes, cancer is a silent disease with no symptoms in the early stages. That's why undergoing recommended cancer screening tests is so important. The American Cancer Society recommends all women 40 and older have annual mammograms and clinical breast exams (CBEs). All women in their 20s and 30s should have a CBE every three years.

Mammography is the gold standard for breast cancer screening. Columbus Community Hospital offers 3-D mammography a system that detects tumors hidden by overlapping breast tissue and provides a more accurate diagnosis than standard 2-D digital mammography. It is easier to treat and beat cancer when you detect it early — it is less likely to have spread to other areas.

Don't ignore the signs. Follow the guidelines and schedule your mammogram today.

What is 3-D Mammography?
Columbus Community Hospital’s new 3-D mammography system is an example of the hospital’s commitment to providing state-of-the-art equipment and the highest quality patient care. 

Mammography is a noninvasive type of imaging that uses a low-dose X-ray system to examine changes in breast tissue. Standard mammograms produce images in the two-dimensional space. 

3-D mammography (also called tomosynthesis) is a system where the X-ray tube moves in an arc over the breast during the exposure, creating a series of thin image "slices" through the breast that physicians can scroll through for a comprehensive 3-D image overview.

The new Siemens MAMMOMAT Revelation with 50° Wide-Angle Tomosynthesis at CCH provides comfortable and reliable 3-D exams.
The new system:

  • Enables detection of tumors that are hidden by overlapping breast tissue. 
  • Provides more accurate diagnosis than standard 2-D digital mammography. 
  • Reduces the number of false-positive findings, therefore, reducing callbacks or retakes for additional images. 
  • Offers improved patient comfort and safety as the system’s intelligent compression stops at the point of optimal compression, and applies compression as long as the patient's breast is soft and pliable. 
  • Provides a warmer, more comfortable and soothing screening environment using a Moodlight™ LED light panel. 
  • Produces excellent image quality to help your physician make a more confident and informed diagnosis, regardless of breast size or tissue density. 
Most health insurance plans will cover your mammogram 100 percent, so there’s no cost to you. Always check with your health insurance company first to make sure your mammogram is covered.
