With the addition of 3D mammography to Grandview Medical Center, all Kettering Breast Evaluation Centers are now 3D capable.
The 3D mammography allows doctors to take images from different angles. By taking images from different angles, the radiologist can look at breast tissue one layer at a time, making it easier to find abnormalities. This is especially helpful for women with dense breast tissue.
Each new mammography unit comes with SensorySuite technology that includes a 48-inch flat panel monitor. During a mammogram, women have the option to watch a series of images from nature and listen to relaxing music. A scent diffuser infuses with the air with a calming fragrance.
