Cooper Clinic's breast health services include:

• Hologic® Genius™ 3D Mammography - Different layers in the breast, including blood vessels, milk ducts, fat and ligaments, can be challenging to differentiate when viewed in 2D traditional mammogram. While the experience is similar to the 2D mammogram, Genius 3D Mammography uses breast tomosynthesis, in which the scan examines the breast one layer at a time by taking multiple photos of each layer.

  Genius 3D Mammography:

  • Detects 41 percent more invasive breast cancers
  • Detects 15 months earlier than others
  • Reduces false positives by up to 40 percent.
     
• Second Opinion and Evaluation - Our physicians are available to review and provide a second opinion and evaluation for patients with existing mammogram or ultrasound results.
