Scientists have managed to develop stereo mammograms that can help increase detection of breast cancer by 23-percent while the false alarms percent decreases with 46. We all know that mammograms aren’t very comfortable and apparently not always that accurate, so it looks like this new method in the works is welcomed.
“It’s a major issue in the field now, more and more, how to address the imaging needs of women with significant breast density,” says American Cancer Society screening specialist Robert Smith. “We and women and everyone else is kind of left wondering what would be best under what circumstances.”
According to a recent study made by radiologists from Mayo Clinic, say they can now see behind dense tissue that would normally block potential problem areas. One of the key factors in beating breast cancer is an early detection, and that’s why this is definitely an exciting new development.
