3D Mammography Exams

Mammograms are nonsurgical exams used for diagnostic and health screening purposes. Mammography is currently the best tool in modern medicine for detecting breast cancer in the earliest stages. The earlier breast cancer is detected, the easier it is to treat it, which is why mammograms should be an important part of every woman’s health and wellness routine.

The The Women’s Center of Daviess Community Hospital offers state-of-the-art 3D digital mammography technology through Genius™ 3D Mammography™ exams, developed by Hologic, Inc., a worldwide leader in Women’s Health. Utilizing advanced breast tomosynthesis technology, Genius exams are clinically proven to significantly increase the detection of breast cancers, and also decreasing the number of women asked to return for additional testing. A Genius exam requires no additional compression and takes just a few seconds longer than a conventional 2D breast cancer screening exam.

The ACR gold seal of accreditation represents the highest level of image quality and patient safety. It is awarded only to facilities meeting ACR Practice Parameters and Technical Standards after a peer-review evaluation by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field. Image quality, personnel qualifications, adequacy of facility equipment, quality control procedures and quality assurance programs are assessed.
