Breast Health

At Baptist Health, you'll find a variety of screening options, along with comprehensive, leading-edge diagnostic services, such as breast ultrasound, molecular breast imaging (MBI), MRI and biopsy capabilities. These diagnostic tests can often be done the same day a suspicious result is found on a mammogram.

3D Mammography exams vs. 2D Mammography exams

• 3D mammograms are more detailed and accurate than traditional mammograms, allowing physicians to examine breast tissue layer by layer.
• Studies show that 3D mammograms reduce the need to return for additional imaging by up to 40%.
• 3D mammograms, which are particularly effective for women with dense breast tissue, help physicians to find up to 40 percent more breast cancers without requiring additional imaging studies.
• 3D Mammography exams also reduce the rate of false positive readings, which identify normal tissue as an abnormality.

Talk to your physician about what type of mammogram is right for you.

More than ever, women are taking a proactive approach to their breast health. At our Breast Screening and Prevention Clinic at Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center, we help women identified as “high risk” get a true assessment of their breast cancer risk.
