3D screening mammograms are the preferred type of exam at Texas Health Breast Centers. With a 3D mammogram, the machine takes images of the breast from multiple angles. A computer then creates a 3D image of the breast that the radiologist can examine like pages in a book. Additional benefits include:

• Improves radiologists' ability to screen for and detect potential breast cancers.
• Helps radiologists pinpoint size, shape and location of abnormalities.
• Aids in distinguishing harmless abnormalities from real tumors, leading to fewer callbacks and less anxiety for women.

3D mammograms can also find microcalcifications (tiny deposits of calcium) that sometimes indicate the presence of breast cancer.

Bone density testing is a simple, painless scan that measures the strength and thickness of your bones. It helps doctors find out if you have osteoporosis or are at risk for fractures.

During the test, you lie on a table while a low‑dose X‑ray machine (called a DEXA scanner) checks areas like your lower spine and hips. The scan only takes a few minutes and uses much less radiation than a standard X‑ray.

Bone density testing is commonly recommended for women after age 65, men after age 70, and for anyone with risk factors such as family history, certain medications, or previous fractures.
