A news release from the American College of Radiology (ACR) (September 29, 2015) reiterates the continued recommendation that women begin annual screening mammograms at age 40.

You know how important your annual mammogram is to your health. Now, Larchmont Medical Imaging has made it even better, with a new, state-of-the-art tool for the fight against breast cancer: three-dimensional (3D) mammography, also called breast tomosynthesis. Available at all Larchmont locations, a 3D mammogram helps radiologists find cancer earlier and reduces the need for call-backs for additional testing.

Larchmont Medical Imaging recently became one of only a few imaging centers nationwide with FDA approval to provide 3D mammograms (also known as breast tomosynthesis) with new Siemens MAMMOMAT Inspiration mammogram units at all Larchmont locations.

How is tomosynthesis different from a conventional mammogram? And what are the benefits to patients?

According to a local expert in breast cancer diagnosis, following recent mammogram recommendations from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) could result in thousands of unnecessary deaths from breast cancer.
