Specifically for those with dense breast tissue, 2D imagery can sometimes make detection more difficult since the mammogram shows all the overlapping layers as a single image. But a 3D image can help radiologists better assess the health of the breast tissue since they can review the images as distinct layers, which can help improve the accuracy of breast cancer detection and diagnosis.
3D mammography has the potential to improve cancer detection and decrease the number of false positive screening exams, no matter your breast density. But those with dense breasts or known to be at higher risk for breast cancer can benefit the most from 3D mammography.
