2D vs 3D Mammography?
The Case for Tomosynthesis
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has long been the preferred tool for women who are considered high-risk and have dense breast tissue, to supplement their mammogram. Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT), a 3-D breast imaging technology, has recently gained in popularity as a supplement to mammography in more difficult cases but many physicians have questions about its value versus cost. This free Webinar covers a comparison of 2D vs 3D Mammography, a review of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis, equipment cost considerations, as well as technical requirements to consider before making a switch.
Watch the webinar to learn:
- What are the benefits of 2D vs 3D Mammography?
- How much does implementing tomosynthesis cost?
- Can my current PACS handle the large file sizes of 3D images?
Join Purview and Dr. Mark Baganz, the Medical Director of Chesapeake Medical Imaging, for an exclusive webinar as we discuss CMI's experiences with their new tomosynthesis imaging equipment.
