Hologic’s 3Dimensions system is designed to provide high quality 3D images for radiologists, an enhanced workflow for technologists[1], and a more comfortable patient experience.[2] The system offers the unrivaled performance of the Genius 3D Mammography exam, the only mammogram that’s FDA approved as superior for women with dense breasts compared to 2D alone.[3,4] The exam detects 20%-65% more invasive breast cancers and is more accurate than conventional 2D exams.[3] With a 70 micron pixel size, the Hologic Clarity HD high-resolution 3D imaging technology quickly captures and generates high resolution 3D images.[1] Additionally, it enables options such as more natural Intelligent 2D synthesized images and workflow advantages with 3DQuorum technology – reducing file size and interpretation time. The system also includes the SmartCurve breast stabilization system to provide patients with a more comfortable mammogram without compromising on image quality, exam time, dose or workflow.[2]

The study found an average 41% (95% CI: 20-65%) increase and that 1.2 (95% CI: 0.8-1.6) additional invasive breast cancers per 1000 screening exams were found in women receiving combined 2D FFDM and 3D™ mammograms acquired with the Hologic 3D Mammography™ System versus women receiving 2D FFDM mammograms only.
