FDA-approved breast tomosynthesis, also called 3D mammography, is a huge leap forward in both early breast cancer discovery and a reduction in stressful false positive results.

Each year, millions of Americans are referred for a biopsy to analyze something that an initial exam or test reveals may be abnormal. A biopsy involves the removal of a small sample of affected tissue, whether via a needle, small incision or more-invasive excisional biopsy, depending on the area of concern.

Women who have had a questionable mammogram, are considered at elevated risk and require a second screening tool, or have had a positive biopsy and need assessment of the extent of cancer, can benefit from breast magnetic resonance imaging, or breast MRI.

It’s October, meaning Breast Cancer Awareness Month is here again. But isn’t everyone already aware of breast cancer? Sure, we are. But awareness is about more than just knowing about the disease…

Your annual screening mammogram does not need to be delayed or avoided because of COVID-19.

Early discovery of breast cancer is the key to beating a disease that affects roughly 1 in 8 women in the US. Even though the recorded number of women who get breast cancer has remained about the same, the 5-year survival rate has risen to an average of 90%. Better yet, when breast cancer is discovered before it has had a chance to spread, the 5-year survival rate leaps to 99%.

Roughly 1 in 10 women who have a mammogram require further testing to gain more detailed information. Mammography is the first choice for routine screening because it is highly sensitive to the presence of micro calcifications, which can be an early sign of cancer.

RAI’s Women’s Diagnostic Centers are highly comprehensive, full-service centers dedicated to women’s diagnostic services.

Roughly one in eight women will develop breast cancer. Luckily, thanks to advances in early detection and treatment, most women survive it, but the best possible scenario is to avoid it altogether.

Apart from skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women, affecting roughly one in eight. While that percentage has remained static for decades, the average 5-year survival rate has risen to 90%. When breast cancer is discovered early, while isolated within the breast, the 5-year survival rate jumps to 99%, making early discovery paramount.

Your health is about much more than you, it’s also about the people in your life who care about and depend on you to be around for a long time. And sure, there are plenty of reasons to put off getting a regular screening mammogram: discomfort, inconvenience, fear. It may be safe to say that most women feel at least some hesitation when considering screening.

Radiology Associates Imaging is proud to offer the 3D Tomosynthesis Mammography™ exam, a breakthrough in early breast cancer detection.

If you’re a woman who has had a screening mammogram and have been notified about your “breast density,” you probably have questions about what it is and what it means to your breast health.
