3D Mammography

Hancock County Health System is now offering 3D mammography to provide patients with improved cancer detection.

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.

Not all insurances cover the cost of 3D mammography, resulting in an out-of-pocket expense for you. Before, you schedule your mammogram, call your insurance company to verify what it will (and will not) cover.

Medicare does cover 3D mammography.
