A Typical 3D Mammography Exam

Watch a video demonstration on how a breast cancer screening exam using 3D mammography works. 3D mammography is an important advance in the fight against breast cancer, helping doctors find cancer that might be not be found using traditional breast cancer screening methods.

A good analogy for 3D mammography is like thinking of the pages in a book. If you look down at the cover you cannot see all of the pages -- but when you open it up, you can go through the entire book page-by-page to see everything between the covers. 3D mammography is designed with the same concept in mind.
