Importance
Breast Tomosynthesis, also known as 3D mammography or Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT), is an advanced imaging technique that enhances the accuracy of breast cancer screening and diagnosis.
Unlike traditional 2D mammograms, tomosynthesis captures multiple low-dose X-ray images from different angles, which are then reconstructed into detailed 3D views of the breast tissue. This layered imaging helps reduce the impact of overlapping tissue, making it easier to detect small or hidden abnormalities—especially in women with dense breasts.
The procedure is quick, safe, and similar in experience to a standard mammogram, offering improved clarity and fewer false positives.
Regular Checks
Self-examination should be performed on a monthly basis by women over the age of 20; the best time is a week after menstruation.
