3D Mammography in Miranda

3D mammography builds a detailed, layered picture of breast tissue from low-dose X-Rays. It’s central to detecting and diagnosing breast conditions early,  including breast cancer,  and is particularly valuable where breast tissue is dense.

Our modern equipment lets radiologists see subtle changes that a standard 2D mammogram can miss, supporting earlier, more confident diagnosis.

Preparing for your appointment:

  • Avoid deodorant, perfume, powder and lotion on the day
  • Wear a two-piece outfit, as you’ll undress from the waist up
  • Arrive a little early for any paperwork

FAQs

A mammogram is a specialised breast imaging examination that uses low-dose X-Rays to detect changes in breast tissue. To obtain clear, high-quality images, the breast is gently compressed for a few seconds during the scan. Although this may feel uncomfortable for a short time, the examination is quick and most women tolerate it well.

Tomosynthesis captures the breast from several angles to create a three-dimensional, layered view, improving detection, especially in dense tissue.
