3D Mammography
3D mammography captures X-ray images of the breast from multiple angles,
then uses AI to combine them into a detailed 3D image.
Unlike standard 2D mammography, which produces a single flat image,
3D mammography takes multiple thin-slice images, allowing layered views of the internal tissue.
Why Advanced Equipment Matters
Improved Accuracy
Clearly distinguishes tumors, calcifications, and nodules, especially effective for dense breast tissue common in younger Korean women.
Reduced False Positives
Helps avoid unnecessary biopsies and misinterpretations by providing clearer insight than standard 2D imaging.
Higher Cancer Detection Rate
Improves detection of stage 0 breast cancer and enables early diagnosis and prevention of breast cancer.
What Are Microcalcifications?
Calcifications are calcium deposits in the breast and are usually harmless.
Around 20% may indicate early-stage breast cancer, while most benign cases need only regular monitoring.
In dense breasts, they can be hard to detect with standard imaging,
so our 3D Microcalcification Clinic uses multi-angle scans for accurate diagnosis.
Stereotactic Vacuum-Assisted Breast Biopsy (SVAB)
Unlike standard ultrasound-guided biopsies, microcalcifications are hard to locate with ultrasound.
3D imaging pinpoints the exact location, and AI calculates precise coordinates to
guide a fine needle for tissue sampling and removal.
A biopsy is then performed, and if cancer is confirmed, further treatment follows.
Recommended Candidates
For those with dense breast tissue
For those with a family history or high risk of breast cancer
For those with abnormalities found in previous exams
For those seeking a more detailed evaluation
UU Breast Clinic in Busan has introduced state-of-the-art equipment to enable 3D mammography for
more accurate breast cancer screening and prevention.
We are committed to doing our utmost for women's health.
