Automated 3-D Breast Ultrasound Machine

The newest technology in breast imaging - a fully automated 3-D breast ultrasound machine - is now in use at UT Southwestern Medical Center's Southwestern Center for Breast Care, the first site in Dallas and Fort Worth to obtain the equipment.

Breast ultrasound is a noninvasive procedure that uses sound waves to make a picture of the tissues inside the breast. It has traditionally been used following mammography in the targeted evaluation of a possible abnormality found at screening or on physical examination. Because of recently reported studies, breast cancer screening utilizing ultrasound for high-risk women is beginning to gain traction.
