What makes it a better mammogram
A 3D mammogram is an advanced imaging technique that captures low-dose X-ray images from many angles to build a detailed, three-dimensional view of the breast. It gives our breast-specialized radiologists more than 60 images to evaluate instead of four, which helps them:
- Detect 54% more invasive cancers than a 2D mammogram
- Reduce callbacks by 37%
- Find cancers as early as stage 0, for more peace of mind
The formula for a better mammogram.
Comfort
A paddle shaped like a breast.
SmartCurve replaces the flat plate with a curved surface.
93% of women who found mammograms painful rated it more comfortable.
A relaxed patient holds still, and stillness is image quality.
Accuracy
3D, with AI on every exam.
More than 60 slices instead of four flat images.
AI flags densities, calcifications and architectural distortion.
Included at no extra cost.
Expertise
Radiologists who only read mammograms.
100% breast-dedicated radiologists.
Breast imaging is a subspecialty, and volume matters.
Expertise matters.
Four pictures. Or sixty.
Breast tissue is three-dimensional, so on a flat image healthy tissue can hide, or imitate, a tumor. Here is what changes when the scan can see in layers.
2D mammogram
Four flat images of each breast in a single plane. Overlapping tissue can conceal a small cancer, and normal tissue can look like one, which is harder still in dense breasts.
Solis Mammography 3D, with AI technology
An arc of low-dose images reconstructed into more than 60 thin slices, so your radiologist can scroll through the breast one millimeter at a time. AI trained on millions of exams flags areas of concern at the earliest stage, standard on every exam at no extra cost.
A mammogram isn't a yes or no. Five things get read, every time.
Your radiologist evaluates a specific set of findings across both breasts, then compares each one against your prior exams.
Masses
Shape, margin and density of any distinct lesion. Smooth and round reads differently than spiculated.
Calcifications
Tight clusters of microcalcification can be the earliest visible sign of DCIS, years before a lump.
Asymmetries
Differences between your two breasts, or any change from the exam you had last year.
Breast density
Dense tissue both raises risk and hides cancer on film. You get your category with every result.
Architectural distortion
Tissue pulled out of its normal pattern with no visible mass. This is where 3D helps most.
Why one appointment a year matters.
women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime
five-year survival rate when breast cancer is caught early
more invasive cancers found by 3D than by 2D alone
of breast cancers occur in women with no family history
