Danville, Pa.-based Geisinger has implemented a systemwide expansion of 3D mammography.
In a recent study, 3D mammography had a higher rate of cancer depiction compared to traditional mammography. The technology may also reduce the need for additional imaging and minimize false-positive results, according to a June 23 news release from the health system.
“Our patients will no longer need to travel outside of the Geisinger service area to receive state-of-the-art breast imaging,” Timothy Murphy, MD, director of women’s imaging at Geisinger, said in the release.
