Advanced Breast Screening Technologies

At Auckland Breast Centre we utilise the benefits of advanced screening technologies for improved diagnosis and patient outcomes. 

We are proud to offer all patients requiring breast screening, a mammogram including 3D tomosynthesis imaging.

But what are the benefits of 3D tomosynthesis?

• Improved Detection: 3D tomosynthesis provides a detailed, multi-slice view of breast tissue, which helps in the early detection of breast cancer. The thin slices reduce overlapping breast tissue, which assists the Radiologist to better see through your breast tissue on the mammogram.
• Enhanced Accuracy: The three-dimensional images produced by tomosynthesis reduce the likelihood of false positives and false negatives. This leads to more accurate diagnosis and a reduction in unnecessary follow-up tests or biopsies.
• Better Visualisation: 3D tomosynthesis allows radiologists to visualise breast tissue in a more comprehensive manner, making it easier to identify small tumours or other abnormalities. This can lead to earlier detection and more effective treatment.
• Personalised Care: 3D tomosynthesis enables the team at ABC to tailor management plans more effectively, as they have a clearer understanding of your breast tissue and any abnormalities present.
• Early Detection: Early detection of breast cancer usually leads to more treatment options and better outcomes. Studies of 3D tomosynthesis have shown increased detection of breast cancer increased the chances of detecting breast cancer at an earlier, more treatable stage.
