Low dose 3D mammogram

3D mammography, also called digital breast tomosynthesis, is a special kind of breast imaging that creates a three-dimensional picture of the breast. It helps doctors see breast tissue more clearly than with standard 2D mammograms.

Benefits
  • Finds breast cancer earlier- 3D mammograms can find breast cancer earlier, sometimes even before you feel a lump. Early detection means treatment can start sooner, which often leads to better outcomes.
  • More accurate results - This type of mammogram gives doctors a clearer view of your breast tissue. It helps them find real problems and avoid false alarms. That means fewer unnecessary tests and less worry for you.
  • Fewer callbacks - Because the images are more detailed, you’re less likely to be called back for extra tests. This saves time and reduces stress.
  • Better for dense breasts- If you have dense breast tissue, 3D mammography is especially helpful. It makes it easier to spot anything unusual that might be hiding in the tissue.
  • Safe and low radiation- 3D mammograms use about the same amount of radiation as a regular mammogram. It’s a safe and effective way to check your breast health.

Bone density scan /DEXA or DXA scan (dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry)

A bone density scan, also called DEXA or DXA, uses X-rays to create an image of a bone. It’s the most common way to measure bone strength.
