3D Mammography in Bankstown
3D mammography uses low-dose X-Rays to build a detailed, layered picture of breast tissue. It plays a central role in detecting and diagnosing breast conditions early, including breast cancer.
At Bankstown Lidcombe Medical Imaging we use modern equipment that lets our radiologists pick up subtle changes that a standard 2D mammogram can miss, particularly in dense breast tissue.
Preparing for your appointment
- Skip deodorant, perfume, powder and lotions on the day
- Wear comfortable clothing – a two-piece outfit is ideal, as you’ll undress from the waist up
- Arrive a little early to complete any paperwork
FAQs
What is a mammogram?
A mammogram is a specialised low-dose X-Ray used to examine the breast for any changes or abnormalities. During the examination, the breast is gently compressed for a few seconds to produce clear, detailed images. While this may feel a little uncomfortable, the compression is brief and helps ensure the best possible results.
What is 3D mammography (tomosynthesis)?
3D mammography, also known as tomosynthesis, captures multiple images of the breast from different angles to create a detailed three-dimensional view. This advanced technology can improve the detection of breast abnormalities, particularly in women with dense breast
