Women in Alexandria Bay and the surrounding river communities now access to the most advanced mammograms available, close to home at River Hospital. River Hospital has upgraded to 3D mammography, also known as digital breast tomosynthesis. A 3D mammogram is very similar to any other mammogram experience for the patient, adding only seconds onto the examination length. But this new screening technology provides a three-dimensional image of the breast using several low-dose X-ray images from different angles. Providers are able to see a clearer image of the breast tissue allowing for earlier detection of breast cancer, and earlier detection of breast cancer has been proven to help save lives.
Benefits of 3D mammography include:
We are also offer a digital, fixed base stereotactic biopsy system. This breast biopsy system allows for a minimally invasive procedure with increased patient comfort and has the ability of identifying the smallest calcifications, allowing for a more precise and efficient diagnosis.
