Did You Know?
Dense breasts make a woman up to six times more likely to develop breast cancer. And they make it challenging to detect cancer with a standard mammography exam alone. Working in tandem with a mammogram, 3D whole breast ultrasound (ABUS) offers a better chance to diagnose breast cancer early at a more treatable stage.
