Mammography

Mammography is a highly sensitive diagnostic tool that can assist in the very early detection of breast cancer. With a single data set, it allows the physician to zoom in, to magnify, and to visualize different parts of breast tissue. Our women's imaging technologies contribute to a greater clarity of vision in order to help confirm rapid and accurate diagnosis.

MD Imaging's digital mammography systems offer direct-to-digital imaging to rapidly produce and to store high-clarity, high-contrast images with reduced radiation. These images are then reviewed with a computer-aided detection (CAD) system to improve the diagnostic accuracy of mammography.

2D Mammography

2D mammography captures two X-ray images, one from the top, and a second from the side. In 3D tomosynthesis, more images are taken, displaying images of thin slices of the breast. This means that breast tissue from one side of the breast does not get in the way of the images of the other side of the breast as is the case in 2D.

3D Mammography enables physicians to see masses and distortions more clearly. With this process, tomosynthesis obtains multiple images from a variety of angles through the entire breast. Even fine details become obvious because they’re no longer hidden by surrounding tissue as they would be with a 2D mammogram.

Benefits of 3D:

  • 3D mammography allows doctors to examine your breast tissue layer by layer. So, instead of viewing all of the complexities of your breast tissue in a flat image, as with traditional 2D mammography, fine details are more visible and no longer hidden by the tissue above or below.

  • 3D mammography detects 41% more invasive breast cancers and reduces the chance that you will need to be called back for additional views by up to 40%.

AI-ENHANCED MAMMOGRAPHY

Leveraging the power of AI (Artificial Intelligence), MDI proudly offers SecondReadAI™, a computer-based artificial intelligence tool that reviews and analyzes your breasts in a way that a human cannot. It looks at the images pixel by pixel and can detect suspicious breast tissue that might be obscured by dense tissue or that is too small for the human eye to detect. Consider adding SecondReadAI™ with your next mammogram; after all, you’re worth it.
