<h3>FIRST TIME IN “GUNTUR”</h3>

<p class="justify">Just like a three-dimensional photo is more detailed and lifelike than a 2D image, digital <strong style="color:#ed0677;">breast tomosynthesis (DBT)—or 3D mammography</strong>—gives radiologists a clearer view of breast tissue. And that's why this new technology has rapidly become an essential imaging tool that enhances a doctor's ability to detect early breast cancer. With breast cancer, earlier detection leads to earlier treatment, less aggressive treatment options, and better outcomes.</p>

<div class="row align-items-center">
<div class="col-lg-6 col-md-6">
<p class="justify"><strong style="color:#ed0677;">Thanks to 3D mammography</strong>, radiologists can view breast images in <strong style="color:#ed0677;">"slices,"</strong> which essentially allows them to see straight through tissue layers and makes it less likely they’ll miss an early sign of cancer. Unlike 2D mammograms, the 3D technology also makes it easier for radiologists to detect breast cancer that is masked by overlapping fibroglandular tissue. Research shows 3D mammography is up to <strong style="color:#ed0677;">40 percent</strong> better at detecting invasive breast cancers. </p>

<p class="justify">“DBT or 3D mammography is more accurate than conventional 2D mammography,” says radiologists. “It improves interpretation of mammograms and will likely entirely replace conventional 2D mammograms in the future.”</p>

<p class="justify careselflove">There are many benefits of 3D mammograms. Here are some specifics you should know about :<br>

<li style="line-height: 30px;"><i class="fas fa-check"></i> With 3D mammograms, there are fewer recalls for further testing, which means less unnecessary worry.</li>
<li style="line-height: 30px;"><i class="fas fa-check"></i> Also, 3D mammography finds more benign lesions (such as cysts), many of which get missed with a conventional mammogram. These are important to know about and monitor.</li>

<div class="col-lg-6 col-md-6 col-sm-12 magnetshutdown">
<p class="justify">The experience of having a 3D mammogram feels the same as having a 2D one. You arrive at the breast center and change into a dressing gown. A radiology technician escorts you into a private mammography room with the 3D mammography machine. (It looks the same as a conventional 2D mammography machine.)</p>

<p class="justify">The technician helps you know how to position your body. The breast is supported by a tray while a flexible plastic plate is gently lowered down on top of the breast to press against the breast tissues.</p>


</div>

</div>
<br>
<p class="justify">A mammography tube then takes a series of low-radiation dose X-ray images at different angles, all within just a few seconds. The process is repeated for the other breast. The radiologist reads the images and sends a complete report to you and your doctor with the results. </p>
<h4 class="mammographset">How long does a 3D mammogram take?</h4>

<p class="justify">The entire exam is quick (about 15 minutes). The good news for patients is it doesn't take any more time to have her mammogram than usual. Each image only takes a few seconds.</p>


<h4 class="mammographset">Benefits of 3d mammograms over 2D mammograms</h4>

<ul>
<li style="line-height: 30px;"><i class="fas fa-check"></i> A 3D mammogram provides a clearer and comprehensive look at the breast tissue. Also, with the coming of 3D mammograms, radiologists are now capable of detecting cancer more accurately and sooner.</li>
<li style="line-height: 30px;"><i class="fas fa-check"></i> A 3D mammogram also delivers a clearer image. Doctors can now examine the breast tissues from different angles. And it will help them to detect masses more accurately.</li>
<li style="line-height: 30px;"><i class="fas fa-check"></i> We have already mentioned that 3D mammograms provide significant clarity of the images and as a result of that, chances of raising false alarms have also been reduced. Well, that also implies the fact that the rates of ‘call backs’ have witnessed a reduction.</li>

<li style="line-height: 30px;"><i class="fas fa-check"></i> Also, a 3D mammogram presents the optimal clarity in images of breast density. According to the studies and researches, it has been observed that women who have dense breasts hold higher chances of developing breast cancer. Therefore, it is visible that 3D mammograms are more accurate than those traditional 2D mammograms.</li>
</ul>
</div>

<h4 class="mammographset">When should I have a mammogram?</h4>

<p class="justify">Talk to your health care provider about when you should begin having screening mammograms.
Average risk women (including women with dense breasts) should consider starting yearly screening mammography beginning at age 40.</p>

<h4 class="mammographset">3D vs. 2D Mammograms: What’s the difference?</h4>


<div class="row align-items-center">
<div class="col-lg-6 col-md-6 col-sm-12">
<p class="justify">A mammogram is a low-dose x-ray of the breasts. Mammogram screening can detect breast cancer up to three years before a tumor can be felt during a breast exam. Without a cure for breast cancer, early detection is the very best defense.</p>
<p class="justify">When it comes to scheduling your mammogram, you will have the choice between 3D and 2D mammography. What’s the difference?</p>

</div>

<h4 class="mammographset">Positioning</h4>

<p class="justify">The positioning for a 3D mammogram is the same as a 2D mammogram. But instead of taking a single picture, the unit moves in an arc around the breast and takes multiple snapshots. Then, computer software takes all of those snapshots and combines them for a more complete picture. “It uses the same amount of radiation, in the same amount of time, but with much greater detail and information.</p>

<h4 class="mammographset">Images</h4>

<p class="justify">“When you take a traditional mammogram, you are taking a picture of a 3D object and producing a 2D representation,” Dr. Priyanka said. “As a result, you have structures that sit on top of each other and mimic a mass.” With 3D, the doctor can go in and view each <strong style="color:#ed0677;">“slice”</strong> of the breast to determine if it is a mass. “Ultimately it means that our ability to pick up small cancers is improved, and we have fewer false positives,” explained Dr. Priyanka.</p>

<h4 class="mammographset">Value</h4>

<p class="justify">Medical Imaging is proud to provide the community with the latest technology and the <strong style="color:#ed0677;">highest level of patient care</strong> for the greatest value in the region.</p>

<p class="justify">Ultimately, 3D mammography is the next step in improving patient care. According to Dr. Priyanka, “3D is a tool. It’s the next step in our ability to detect these cancers when they’re smaller. It’s the future of breast imaging.”</p>
