Southern Hills Hospital is proud to now offer a new breast tomosynthesis solution designed with a three-dimensional imaging technology. This latest technology is an important step in detecting breast cancer as early as possible. To schedule your annual mammogram, call 702.916.7288.
Southern Hills’ equipment uses a low-dose short X-ray sweep around the positioned breast with nine exposures acquired with a “step-and-shoot” method, removing the potential motion from the tube helping to reduce blur and increase image sharpness.
A key challenge when performing screening mammography is keeping the radiation levels as low as possible. With Southern Hills’ equipment, there is no increase in dose from a 2D standard mammogram to a 3D view, which means there is no increased radiation to patients during the 3D breast exam.
