3D Mammography
« ReturnAccording to the American Cancer Society, one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.
Better treatments and early detection are linked to a reduced risk of breast cancer deaths. In 2019, St. James Parish Hospital invested in 3D Mammography Technology to enhance the patient experience and increase the likelihood of early detection.
The Senographe GE Pristina 3D Mammogram is a paradigm shift in mammography. It is a more comfortable test and a complete change in the mammography experience for the patient, the technician and the radiologist. It produces clearer and more concise images aiding in earlier diagnoses.
St. James Parish Hospital’s 3D Mammography is supported by the award-winning iCAD ProFound AI Software. ProFound AI is a high-performance, cancer detection technology built on artificial intelligence. The software is used by radiologists while reading 3D mammograms.
This FDA-approved technology is clinically proven to increase cancer detection rates, reduce false positives and significantly decrease interpretation time benefiting patients by helping find cancers sooner and reducing unnecessary concern.
