3D Whole Breast Ultrasound is a screening process that uses sound waves. Sound waves are used to map the insides of human breast and can be used in women where mammogram has proven to be ineffective. It produces 3D volumetric images that are reviewed by radiologists. The distinguishing feature of 3D Whole Breast Ultrasound is that it does not involve compression or use of radiation. 

How is a 3D Whole Breast Ultrasound beneficial?

3D Whole Breast Ultrasound is a fast process to screen patients of breast cancer. Also, it is especially beneficial in the case of women with dense breasts. You can easily examine the density of your breast with the help of a mammogram. 

The screening of women with dense breast tissue is a challenge that tests as mammograms face. Women with dense breasts have more connective tissues than fats, which makes them more vulnerable to the disease as compared to other women. They are 4 to 6 times more prone to breast cancer. 3D Whole Breast Ultrasound increases the chances of a better diagnosis for these women and makes the screening process easier.

The breast tissues appear white on a mammogram. Cancerous tumors also appear white on a mammogram. Therefore, proper imaging of the breasts and the diagnosis process becomes very difficult. Cancer may get hidden behind these dense connective tissues. 

However, almost 40 percent of women have dense breast tissues. Hence, there is a need for a more effective process for these women. The 3D Whole Breast Ultrasound is a screening process that improves the chances of diagnosis in these women by 35 %
