Reliable Cutting-Edge 3D Mammography Technology
Wake Women’s Health invests in the latest 3D mammography technology, manufactured by a global leader in women’s health imaging. This advanced system provides:
- Higher accuracy in detecting breast abnormalities, especially in dense breast tissue.
- Fewer false positives, reducing the need for unnecessary follow-up tests.
- Greater clarity and detail, allowing for early detection of potential concerns.
The Importance of an Annual Breast Ultrasound
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women, but early detection significantly improves outcomes. A 3D screening mammogram is one of the most effective tools for detecting abnormalities at their earliest and most treatable stage.
At Wake Women’s Health, we follow the guidelines set by leading medical organizations to ensure our patients receive the best care possible.
Early Detection Saves Women’s Lives
Statistics show that 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. However, when detected early, the survival rate is significantly higher. 3D mammography enhances early detection by providing highly detailed images that can identify small abnormalities, even in dense breast tissue, before symptoms appear.
When Should You Get a Mammogram?
Most major healthcare organizations, including the American College of Radiology (ACR), American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), and Susan G. Komen for the Cure, recommend beginning annual mammograms at age 40:
- Women over 40 should have an annual screening mammogram.
- Women with a family history of breast cancer may need to start screening earlier—consult your provider for a personalized plan.
- Annual mammograms remain the gold standard for breast cancer detection and prevention.
Skipping regular screenings can delay diagnosis, leading to more advanced stages of developing breast cancer or invasive breast cancer that require more intensive treatments. Staying proactive with annual mammograms ensures the earliest possible detection of abnormalities in breast tissue and the best chance for successful treatment.
Why Choose 3D Mammography Over Traditional 2D Mammograms?
3D mammography provides superior imaging and accuracy, reducing the likelihood of false positives and unnecessary callbacks. It also allows radiologists to examine breast tissue layer by layer, improving the detection of small tumors that might be hidden in traditional 2D mammograms.
Benefits of 3D mammography include:
- More accurate results, especially for women with dense breast tissue
- Earlier detection of breast abnormalities
- Fewer false positives and unnecessary follow-ups
- Greater peace of mind with clearer, more detailed imaging
At Wake Women’s Health, we believe breast health is essential to your overall well-being. That’s why we provide in-office 3D mammography as part of our commitment to comprehensive, compassionate women’s healthcare.
Raleigh 3D Mammogram FAQs

How long does a 3D mammogram take?
The entire procedure typically takes 10 to 15 minutes, with the actual imaging process lasting only a few seconds per breast.
When will I receive my digital mammogram results?
In most cases, results are available within 48 hours and are sent directly to your provider, who will discuss them with you if any follow-up is necessary.
Is 3D mammography covered by insurance?
Most major insurance providers cover 3D mammograms, but coverage may vary by plan. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to confirm your benefits. Our team can also assist with any coverage-related questions.
