LEADING-EDGE +
COMFORTABLE

BREAST CARE
TECHNOLOGY

The Breast Center at CARTI features the most leading-
edge technologies, including 3D mammography with a
SmartCurve paddle for a more comfortable exam.

The 3D mammography machine takes a high resolution 3D
image and reconstructs it in 2D, allowing for a faster exam,
less time in compression and as much as a 40% reduction in
radiation exposure. The SmartCurve paddle is curved like the
breast, which allows for more comfortable compression and a
more inclusive visualization of all of the breast tissue.

When comparing the technology of a standard 2D
mammogram with that of a 3D unit, Dr. Smith-Foley, medical
director of The Breast Center, uses the analogy of a book.
“While a 2D image only allows you to see the cover of the
book, a 3D image allows you to look at specific details on
individual, interior pages,” Smith-Foley said. “By taking a
deeper look at the breast, 3D digital mammography increases
detection in women age 50 and younger, pre- and peri-
menopausal women and women with dense breast tissue for
whom traditional mammography is less sensitive.”

Additionally, 3D mammograms reduce the number of false
positives, which reduces unnecessary follow-up testing and
anxiety for patients.

With the most advanced technologies at the center of its
standard of care, The Breast Center at CARTI provides
world-class care for patients who are proactively concentrating
on breast health as part of their overall wellness.
