Community Health Center of Branch County Mammography may miss up to 1/3 of cancer in dense breasts. Learn your screening options. There are different tests for different breasts.

With 3D ultrasound volumes and ABUS software, radiologists can look through hundreds of breast tissue image “slices,” looking at layers of dense tissue to find breast cancers which may have been missed on a mammogram.

Ultrasound has shown that it can increase breast cancer detection when added to mammography. However, traditional hand-held ultrasound has inherent issues that do not make it well suited for screening. The GE Healthcare, PMA-approved Invenia™ ABUS creates reproducible, wide field-of-view volumes in a time efficient manner, thus well-suited for a screening workflow.
