Hip Hip Hooray: 3-D Mammography on the way

Posted by karen on Tue, 2008-06-10 11:36 in

Kudos to a Massachusetts-based companyby the name of Hologic that takes mammography to a whole new level. Their innovation is something called digital tomosynthesis, which involves taking many pictures of the breast from different angles. The end result is up to 100 images, which can be arranged to form a three dimensional picture of the breast tissues and a more thorough view of the breast, including cancerous tissue hidden behind other tissues.
