Unlike conventional mammography, which produces a&nbsp;2-dimensional image of the breast, it is different.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The following are a&nbsp;few significant distinctions between a&nbsp;tomosynthesis mammogram and a&nbsp;conventional&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mammogram.co.za\/\"><span>mammogram<\/span><\/a><span>:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span>X-rays are taken from the front and side of the breast during a&nbsp;traditional mammogram, which compresses the breast between two plates. A&nbsp;3-dimensional image of the breast is produced using multiple images taken at various angles during a&nbsp;tomosynthesis mammogram, which involves the x-ray arm moving in an arc around the breast.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><span> Image quality: Because tomosynthesis produces 3-dimensional images, it is possible to see the breast tissue more clearly, which can make it simpler to find small or difficult-to-see cancers. Additionally, it enables the radiologist to examine each layer of the breast tissue separately, which is advantageous for women who have dense breast tissue.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><span> Tomosynthesis mammography has been shown in studies to be more accurate than conventional mammography at detecting breast cancer. Additionally, it might be less likely to result in false positives, which can cause unneeded anxiety and further testing.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><span> Additional images: Tomosynthesis mammography typically necessitates the acquisition of additional low-dose images, which can result in a&nbsp;longer imaging session than with a&nbsp;conventional mammogram.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><span> Accessibility: Although tomosynthesis mammography is not as widely used as conventional mammography, it is on the rise.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span>Some facilities might also have a&nbsp;combination system that enables the simultaneous use of traditional and tomosynthesis procedures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Tomosynthesis mammography is an FDA-approved technology that can be used either alone or in conjunction with conventional mammography, it\u2019s important to note. Women with dense breast tissue, those who have had prior negative mammograms, or those at high risk for breast cancer may benefit most from it. It is always advised to discuss it with your physician or radiologist to determine whether it would be advantageous for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This article was first published at https:\/\/topclickblogs.co.za\/how-a-tomosynthesis-mammogram-is-different-from-a-normal-mammogram\/<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt width=\"800\" height=\"632\" class=\"size-large aligncenter wp-image-127976 lazyload\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/how-a-tomosynthesis-mammogram-is-different-from-a-normal-mammogram.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large aligncenter wp-image-127976\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/how-a-tomosynthesis-mammogram-is-different-from-a-normal-mammogram.jpg\" alt width=\"800\" height=\"632\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>Video:<\/strong> How A Tomosynthesis Mammogram Is Different From A Normal Mammogram<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/How%20A%20Tomosynthesis%20Mammogram%20Is%20Different%20From%20A%20Normal%20Mammogram\/2\/\">Boilerplate and Editor\u2019s Notes<\/a><\/strong>.<br \/><strong>More Info on <a href=\"https:\/\/topclickblogs.co.za\/how-a-tomosynthesis-mammogram-is-different-from-a-normal-mammogram\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">How A Tomosynthesis Mammogram Is Different From A Normal Mammogram<\/a> here:<\/strong><br \/><strong>Twitter<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/topclickmediasa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/topclickmediasa<\/a><br \/><strong>Facebook<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/topclickmediaSA\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/topclickmediaSA\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/save-with-myprs-monthly-flat-fee\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar\"><\/span> <span class=\"post-views-label\">Press Release Views since 1 July 2022:<\/span> <span class=\"post-views-count\">59<\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/how-a-tomosynthesis-mammogram-is-different-from-a-normal-mammogram\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republish for Free Republish This Story Republish our articles for free, online or in print, under a Creative Commons license.
