3d Mammography with ARTIFICIAL intelligence
our mammograms aren't a pain
Introducing the mammogram that is easier on you.
have you wondered why breasts have to be compressed during a mammogram?
Compression is key to getting a good mammogram. It prevents movement that can lead to blurred images. Compression spreads out the normal dense tissue of your breast, making it easier for radiologists to see through the tissue and detect abnormalities. Compression is important, but it doesn’t have to be painful anymore.
comfort is just the beginning
Every woman is different so we wanted a mammography system as unique as our patients. We chose the Siemens Healthineers MAMMOMAT Revelation mammography system because it makes comfort personal. The MAMMOMAT Revelation automatically compresses only as long as your breast is soft and pliable. This means exactly the right amount of compression is used for your breast. The system’s soft-edges and shape fit your breast’s curves so comfort is there right from the start. While you remain comfortable, your doctor is getting high-quality 3D images thanks to the system’s unique wide-angle technology. This makes it easier to find small areas of concern with greater accuracy.
prepare for your visit
- Arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment.
- Do not apply powders, creams, or deodorants on the day of your examination.
- Eat, drink and take prescribed medications (unless additional testing to be performed on this day instructs otherwise).
- You will be instructed to undress from the waist stop, so please choose appropriate clothing that will help facilitate this.
- Patients who are recently postpartum, currently breastfeeding, or have been breastfeeding within the last six months should contact our women’s imaging team prior to scheduling an appointment.
