3D Mammography and Stereotactic Imaging

Bon Secours Community Hospital Now Offers 3D Mammography and Stereotactic Imaging

Bon Secours Community Hospital Administrative Assistant Ann Maver becomes the first patient to receive 3D mammography in the hospital’s Radiology Department.

According to The American Cancer Society, invasive breast cancer among patients has been on the rise in recent years. To serve this growing need, Bon Secours Community Hospital, a member of the Westchester Medical Center Health Network (WMCHealth), is now offering three-dimensional (3D) mammography for the early detection and treatment of breast cancer through advanced imaging technology and diagnostics.

3D Mammograms

3D technology safely utilizes x-ray images of the breast, from many different angles and layers, to produce images with more detail than traditional two-dimensional mammograms. Radiologists and technologists can move and enlarge the images to view any area of concern. The additional detail improves diagnostic accuracy, which reduces the chances of a patient needing to return for more testing.

Stereotactic Breast Biopsies

Bon Secours Community Hospital is also introducing a new service, stereotactic breast biopsies. During this procedure, physicians use stereo imaging from 3D mammography scans to help pinpoint a correct biopsy location. A sample of breast tissue is then removed from the area of concern using a needle, sparing healthy tissue.

Access More Women's Imaging Services

The Radiology Department at Bon Secours Community Hospital is nationally recognized by the American College of Radiology and received the Gold Seal of Accreditation for the Mammography, Computed Tomography (CT) and Ultrasound programs.
