How does 3D Mammography work?
3D Mammography, also known as Digital Breast Tomosynthesis, captures multiple images of the breast from different angles and reconstructs them into thin, layered slices. This allows radiologists to examine breast tissue in greater detail—much like turning the pages of a book. By reducing the effect of overlapping tissue, this advanced imaging technique improves cancer detection and increases diagnostic confidence.

Expert Care
Women's Imaging Radiologists for expert diagnosesWhat happens during a 3D Mammogram?
During the procedure, you’ll stand at the mammography unit as each breast is gently positioned between two plates for imaging. You will feel a little pressure, but it is only for a few seconds. A low-dose X-ray is used to create detailed 3D images, while ProFound AI® Detection automatically analyzes the images to assist our radiologists. The entire exam typically takes less than 15 minutes, and results are interpreted by our subspecialized breast imaging experts. At ZP, we make your comfort, confidence, and health our top priorities—because your care always comes first.
Be sure to inform us if you have breast implants. Do not wear any deodorant, antiperspirant, lotions, perfumes, or powders on your breast or under your arms on the day of your mammogram. These could interfere with the clarity of your images.
