MORE DETAIL, EARLIER CANCER DETECTION
3D
MAMMOGRAPHY
at FULTON COUNTY HEALTH CENTER
Our 3D Mammography Unit is Here! An exciting, new high-tech diagnostic tool has just been added to FCHC Mammography Staff
the FCHC Radiology Department that will make it easier and more conclusive to detect breast cancer earlier
when it is more treatable. The Genius™ 3D Mammography™ system from Hologic® provides advanced early
detection for breast cancer when it is most treatable.
A 3D mammogram provides:
• Better, Earlier Detection. The only mammogram FDA approved as superior with dense breast tissue.
• Greater Peace of Mind. Reduces unnecessary callbacks by up to 40% .
• More Accurate. Finds on average 20-65% more invasive cancers than conventional mammography alone.
The procedure for the new 3D Mammography™ is the same as what patients have come to expect from
the conventional 2D exam. The 3D image is low-dose, meaning a patient only receives a small amount of
radiation during the exam. To find out more or to schedule a mammogram, contact our Mammography
Department at 419-330-2651.
