Even with traditional 2D mammograms as early as 2001, it showed that prompt annual mammography has the ability to reduce breast cancer deaths by almost 50%<sup>[1]<\/sup>. 2D mammography is the older technology. It takes only two images \u2013 one from top and the other from the side of the breast. It may miss overlapping tumors between the tissues, if any.<\/p>\n<p>3D mammography exam is the latest technology. It takes many images from different angles, and provides clearer, more detailed pictures.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"btClear btSeparator topSemiSpaced noBorder\" ><hr><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"boldRow  \" ><div class=\"boldRowInner\"><div class=\"rowItem col-md-12 col-ms-12  btTextLeft btMiddleVertical\"  ><div class=\"rowItemContent\" ><div class=\"btText\" ><\/p>\n<h3><strong>The key benefits of 3D mammography are as below:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>3D mammography helps doctors see more clearly through the breast tissue and discover any tiny tumors that might be \u201chiding\u201d, which were not visible on 2D mammogram, or on other modalities such as sonography (ultrasound).<\/li>\n<li>3D mammography significantly reduces recall rates<sup>[1]<\/sup> for any unnecessary additional tests.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>3D mammography is fast, which means\n<ul>\n<li>Greater patient comfort due to breast tissue being compressed for less time, and<\/li>\n<li>Even lower exposure to low-dose X-rays within the stipulated guidelines.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>3D mammography is very useful in high-risk women, i.e., including those with:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>A family history of breast or ovarian cancer<sup>2<\/sup><\/li>\n<li>Dense breast tissue (nearly half of all women above the age of 40 have dense breasts)<sup>3<\/sup><\/li>\n<li>A previous diagnosis of breast disease<\/li>\n<li>Changes or lumps in the breasts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>3D mammography significantly reduces the risk interval cancers<sup>4<\/sup>&#8211; that can quickly grow between two regular screenings scheduled one year apart.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Explore our popular blog <a href=\"https:\/\/pinkpromise.org\/india\/why-3d-mammography-protects-better-against-breast-cancer\/\"><strong>why 3D mammography protects better against breast cancer<\/strong><\/a> for more insights!<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"btClear btSeparator topSmallSpaced bottomSemiSpaced noBorder\" ><hr><\/div><div class=\"btText\" ><\/p>\n<ol class=\"referenceLinks\">\n<li>Tabar L. et al., Cancer 2001 <a href=\"https:\/\/acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/1097-0142(20010501)91:9%3C1724::AID-CNCR1190%3E3.0.CO;2-V\">https:\/\/acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/1097-0142(20010501)91:9%3C1724::AID-CNCR1190%3E3.0.CO;2-V<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Rose SL, Tidwell AL, Bujnoch LJ, Kushwaha AC, Nordmann AS, Sexton R Jr. Implementation of breast tomosynthesis in a routine screening practice: an observational study.
