3D mammograms haven't yet been proven to be the best screening tool for breast cancer, but more women in the United States are getting them.
3D mammograms haven't yet been proven to be the best screening tool for breast cancer, but more women in the United States are getting them.
From 2015 to 2017, 3D mammography screening increased from 13% of screening examinations to 43%, according to a study published on Monday in the medical journal JAMA Internal Medicine."That's a substantial increase in a two-year period," said Dr. Ilana Richman, lead author of the study and an assistant professor in general internal medicine at Yale School of Medicine."The technology has become really popular.
However, 3D mammography is not currently recommended by the US Preventive Services Task Force for routine breast cancer screening. Without these clinical guidelines, the US Food and Drug Administration requires that for a patient to get 3D mammography, they need to get it alongside the standard 2D mammography, Smith said. The FDA certifies facilities to perform mammography and must approve new breast imaging equipment before it can be sold in the United States.
