Tennova Healthcare - Clarksville Now Offers 3D Mammography

10/6/2021

Tennova Healthcare - Clarksville now offers breast 3D mammography; technology that allows images to be magnified and adjusted on a computer screen for better visualization. Potential advantages of 3-D mammography include fewer call backs for additional screening and testing, imaging that shows the inner breast structure more clearly, better detection because thin layers of tissue are shown separately, and improved imaging for dense breast tissue.

“When breast cancer is found early, the chances of survival are greatly improved, and 3D mammography is the best system to provide the quality images and patient experience to make early detection possible,” states Gina Wyatt, M.D., chief medical director of radiology at Tennova Healthcare - Clarksville. “3D mammography offers the widest image acquisition angle in the industry, so doctors can see more. Personalized compression is tailored to the structure of each woman’s breast for a more thorough exam.”

Patients can schedule a screening mammogram at Tennova Healthcare – Clarksville by calling (931) 502-1180. To learn more about Tennova Healthcare – Clarksville’s commitment to Women’s health, visit www.tennovaclarksville.com/womens-health .
