3D mammograms increase breast cancer detection by 23 percent
Filed under: Misc. Gadgets
Scientists have developed stereo mammograms — breast X-rays taken with special cameras and at multiple angles — that they say can help them increase detection of breast cancer by 23-percent while decreasing false alarms by 46-percent. By overlaying images taken at different angles or using 3D glasses, Researchers at the Mayo clining say they can now see behind dense tissue that would normally block potential problem areas. Since early detection is a key factor in beating breast cancer, this is an exciting new development.
