Legacy offers 3-D mammograms
Legacy offers 3-D mammograms to all patients because they can reveal more, so cancers are found earlier and more often. Our 3-D technology can find more suspicious tissue without more radiation.
A study published in the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) suggested that 3-D mammography:
Finds 41% more invasive breast cancers
Finds 29% more breast cancers of all types
Results in 15% fewer false alarms
Breast screenings can save your life
If you have a family history of breast cancer, have dense breasts or other risk factors, 3-D mammography is one of our best tools in detecting cancer early when it can be most easily treated. Thanks to 3-D mammography, breast cancer surgeon Nathalie Johnson is also a breast cancer survivor. Her 3-D mammogram found the cancer her 2-D mammogram missed. She shares her story in this video.
