3-D scans could improve cancer detection

3-D mammograms may be better at finding cancer than regular scans, a large study suggests, although whether that means saving more lives isn’t known. The study involved almost half a million breast scans, with more than one-third of them using relatively new 3-D imaging along with conventional scans. The rest used regular mammograms alone. The 3-D scan combo detected one additional cancer per 1,000 scans, compared with conventional digital mammograms. Read more here.
