A Genius™ 3D exam provides our radiologists with a series of detailed images of the breast. This type of mammogram is an X-ray that allows them to better evaluate breast tissue layer by layer, making fine details more visible and no longer hidden by overlapping tissue. This advanced form of medical imaging is crucial for breast cancer screening and early detection of breast cancer.
The process of a Genius™ 3D mammography exam is the same as your conventional 2D exam. The technologist will position you, compress your breast, and take images from different angles. There’s no additional compression required.
The technologist will view the images of your breasts at the computer workstation to ensure quality images have been captured for review. A radiologist will then examine the images and report results to either your physician or directly to you.
As of January 1st, 2019, 3D mammography screening exams are covered by Medicare and private insurers in the state of Connecticut and not subject to copays. Screening mammograms are considered a preventative screening exam and as such, are not subject to co-pays.
The Genius™ 3D exam has been clinically proven to greatly reduce the chance of callbacks, which are common for women with dense breasts. It is the only FDA-approved 3D mammography machine to offer superior performance in women with dense breasts for routine breast cancer screening over standard 2D mammography. Additional testing such as breast ultrasound or breast MRI may be recommended for more detailed imaging.
A screening mammogram is generally covered as a yearly preventative exam through your insurance. It is an essential tool for the early detection of breast cancer.
Based on your clinical history and your referring physician’s order, you may need a diagnostic mammogram. This type of mammogram requires more detailed images from different angles that allow the radiologist to check the area more closely. A diagnostic mammogram is applied toward the patient’s deductible.
