3-D mammograms may be safer and more accurate

Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles have created a new technique for producing 3-D images of breast tissue. It is believed that 10%-20% of breast tumors are not detected via a standard mammogram; the 3-D approach is believed to produce images "two to three times sharper than current hospital CT scans with a lower radiation dose." Thus far, five independent radiologists have evaluated this method, which has proven favourable.
