3D Breast Ultrasound with GE -ABUS
Invenia ABUS 2.0: the only ultrasound technology FDA-approved for breast cancer detection in women, specifically developed to help doctors find cancers hidden in dense breast tissue, which may be missed by mammography; however, Invenia ABUS screening is completely unlike a mamogram. A layer of lotion is applied to your breast, and then a scanner is positioned to acquire images within 15 minutes without heavy compressions or radiation.
Advantages of ABUS (Automated
Breast Ultrasound System )
• Women with dense breast tissue, breast implants, and younger women benefit significantly from ABUS. Dense breast tissue can make it difficult to detect abnormalities on mammograms because both tissue and tumors appear white. ABUS, however, uses sound waves to create clearer imaging. For women with implants, traditional mammography can obscure parts of the breast, limiting visibility and potentially hiding abnormalities.
Younger women, who may not want or need radiation exposure, should strongly consider ABUS as a safe and effective screening method.
All procedures are interpreted by U.S.
Board Certified radiologists specialized in ABUS readings.
