3D Mammography

MercyOne North Iowa Medical Center is pleased to offer the first self-compression 3D mammography system in the state of Iowa! The new equipment provides patients with improved cancer detection and greater comfort during the test.

For more information about 3D mammography or to schedule an appointment, call 641-428-6555.

With 3D mammography, images of the breast are taken from multiple angles which help the radiologist see breast cancers earlier and provide better views through dense breast tissue. Clearer images also reduce the chance that a woman will be unnecessarily called back for a repeat test – something that can cause great anxiety. The ability to do all of these things with the same small dose of radiation as 2D mammography makes 3D a better choice for most women.

Our exclusive remote puts you in control of the machine during compression, helping reduce anxiety and discomfort.
