OUR APPROACH

From exam to result.
One single pathway.

Everything is part of a single diagnostic pathway: 3D tomosynthesis, AI analysis and expert radiologist review.

Same place. Same team. Same criteria.

What this means for you

EARLIER DETECTION

Lesions as small
as 1–2 mm

Identifiable before they become palpable.
Earlier detection leads to better clinical outcomes.

FEWER RECALLS

Up to 40%
fewer recalls.

Reduces inconclusive results.
Especially in dense breast tissue (ACR C/D).

GREATER CONFIDENCE

Three levels
of validation.

3D + AI + Radiologist.
Each level validates the previous one.

Everything in one place.
One consistent team.

passo a passo - 1
Mammography + ultrasound

A complete diagnostic pathway, carried out in the same location.
3D mammography with AI, complemented by high-definition ultrasound, during the same visit.

passo a passo - 2
In-house specialized review

Your images are reviewed by a radiologist specialized in breast imaging, familiar with your clinical history and available to address your questions.

We take the time to answer your questions before the exam.

DIAGNOSTIC MODEL

A Three Level Reading Process

Each level validates the previous one, progressively increasing diagnostic accuracy and reducing the risk of missed findings.

LEVEL 1

3D Tomosynthesis

Advanced imaging technology that analyses the breast in 1 mm layers, producing a complete three-dimensional reconstruction.

Reduced tissue overlap.

LEVEL 2

Artificial Intelligence

AI assisted analysis of all 3D image layers, identifying areas that require focused attention by the radiologist.

Reduction of false negative findings

LEVEL 3

Radiologist specialized in breast imaging

Final interpretation performed by a radiologist specialized in breast pathology, integrating imaging data with clinical information and each woman’s individual context.

The evolution of Mammography

From flat images to a full 3D breast reconstruction.

2D

Mammography

Flat image acquisition of the breast.

May hide lesions in dense breast tissue.

May require additional exams.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions and Answers

Does the exam take longer than a traditional mammogram?

No. Image acquisition time is very similar, approximately 7 seconds per view. The image acquisition takes 5 to 7 minutes.

Is radiation exposure higher with 3D mammography?

No. The equipment used performs 3D mammography with a low radiation dose, keeping exposure within internationally established safety limits. Radiation levels are equivalent to or lower than those of standard 2D mammography.

Can I have the exam if I have breast implants or surgical scars?

Yes. 3D mammography can be performed in women with breast implants. Surgical scars, fibrotic tissue or previous post surgical changes do not prevent the examination. Please inform the technical team before the exam about any previous surgery to allow optimal positioning.

When will I receive my results?

The medical report is issued within five working days after examination. An expedited option is available upon request. If any findings require prompt attention, you will be contacted immediately by our clinical team.

Why are images acquired from different angles?

During tomosynthesis, the X ray tube moves in an arc over the breast, capturing 15 to 25 images from different angles. Each image corresponds to a thin layer of breast tissue, allowing a full 3D reconstruction and improving the detection of very small lesions that may not be visible on a single flat image.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

3D mammography is an imaging exam that complements clinical breast assessment and does not replace a medical consultation. All images must be interpreted by a qualified expert. Findings may require additional imaging and or further tests. A normal result does not completely rule out disease. If you notice symptoms, changes, or a lump, please seek medical advice regardless of your results.
