3D Mammography / Digital Breast Tomosynthesis
Breast Ultrasound, Breast Biopsy, Breast MRI

Marian Breast Imaging Center at Mission Hope Cancer Center and Coastal Diagnostic Center are proud to offer the latest breakthrough in three-dimensional mammography—General Electric’s SenoClaire breast tomosynthesis. Tomosynthesis is a three-dimensional imaging technology that provides a clearer, more accurate view when compared to digital mammography alone. For the detection of breast cancer, Tomosynthesis is the newest and most advanced breast imaging screening tool that exists. It takes multiple images of the breast, allowing Marian’s board certified radiologists to see through layers of tissue and examine areas of concern from all angles.
  • Earlier detection of small breast cancers
  • Greater accuracy in pinpointing size, shape, and location
  • Fewer unnecessary biopsies or additional tests
  • Greater likelihood of detecting multiple breast tumors, which occur in 15% of breast cancer patients
  • Clearer images of dense breast tissue
  • Improved breast cancer detection rates, especially invasive cancers
  • A decrease in call backs, which may lessen anxiety for patients
