An Easier Mammogram  

YES. The 3D exam has been clinically proven to greatly reduce the chance of callbacks, which are common for women with dense breasts. It is the only FDA-approved 3D mammography machine to offer superior performance in women with dense breasts for routine breast cancer screening over standard 2D mammography.

Our 3D technology will provide your radiologist with a series of up to 200 images, a significant improvement from just four images offered by a conventional mammogram. This technology makes fine details more visible, allowing your radiologist to better evaluate the breast tissue layer by layer.

The process of a 3D mammogram is the same as your conventional 2D exam because there is no additional compression. The scanning process itself takes just a few seconds.

As of January 1st, 2019, 3D mammography screening exams are covered by Medicare and private insurers in the state of Connecticut and are not subject to copays.

All of our locations offer 3D mammography, including Avon, Bloomfield, Farmington, Enfield, Glastonbury, Granby, Hartford, West Hartford, and Wethersfield.

A screening mammogram is generally covered as a yearly preventative exam through your insurance.  A diagnostic mammogram is an exam that requires more detailed images from different angles that allows the radiologist to check the area more closely. This type of mammogram is applied toward the patient’s deductible.
