Mammography with 3D Tomosynthesis is an advanced breast imaging exam used for the screening and diagnosis of breast abnormalities, allowing a more detailed assessment of breast tissue.<\/span><\/p>\n

At <\/span>X-Clinic<\/b>, in <\/span>Lisbon<\/b>, you can undergo Mammography with 3D Tomosynthesis in a differentiated clinical setting, with technology dedicated to breast assessment and a team prepared to support each stage of the exam.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Mammography with 3D Tomosynthesis and what is it for?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Mammography with 3D Tomosynthesis<\/b>, also known as <\/span>3D mammography<\/b>, is an evolution of <\/span>digital mammography<\/span><\/a>. Like conventional mammography, it uses low-dose X-rays, but allows the breast to be assessed in greater detail.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2D mammography, breast tissue is represented in a flat image, which may make it more difficult to visualise small abnormalities when structures overlap. With tomosynthesis, several images are acquired from different angles and then reconstructed into thin slices, allowing the radiologist to assess the breast layer by layer.<\/span><\/p>\n

This exam is used for breast cancer screening, the assessment of breast symptoms, the study of dense breasts and the clarification of changes detected in previous exams.<\/span><\/p>\n

Early diagnosis is essential, as when breast cancer is identified at an early stage, before it has spread to the lymph nodes or other parts of the body, treatment options are generally more favourable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Advantages of 3D Mammography over Conventional Mammography<\/span><\/h2>\n

The main advantage of Mammography with 3D Tomosynthesis is the possibility of analysing breast tissue in different planes, reducing the overlapping effect that may occur in conventional mammography.<\/span><\/p>\n

This technology represents an important advance in breast assessment, allowing a more precise and complete reading of breast tissue.<\/span><\/p>\n
