TAMPA, Fla., May 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- As the need for more advanced technology continues to grow, TGH Imaging is increasing patient access across four counties for breast cancer screening by adding Genius™ 3D Mammography™ exams made by Hologic to 18 locations in Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas and Palm Beach counties. Also called tomosynthesis, 3D mammography is a form of mammography that creates a 3D image of the breast that can better detect breast cancer.
Key Points:
- Also called tomosynthesis, 3D mammography is a form of mammography that creates a 3D image of the breast that can better detect breast cancer.
- "3D mammography has become the superior choice in breast imaging," said Dr. JoAnn Gierbolini, a Women's subspecialized radiologist at TGH Imaging and collaborative assistant professor at the USF Morsani College of Medicine.
- A 3D mammogram can be done in conjunction with a synthesized 2D mammogram and does not require additional exam time or compression.
- "3D Mammography is the standard of care in breast imaging, and we're thrilled to expand this service further throughout TGH Imaging," says Sherri Lewman, SVP of Enterprise Imaging at Tampa General Hospital.
