3D Mammography Video

The McLaren Macomb Breast Center is proud to offer women who undergo routine mammograms the latest screening and diagnostic technology available to them with 3D digital tomosynthesis for breast cancer screening.

This three dimensional imaging technology produces a revolutionary type of mammogram that provides a 3D view of the breast.  When combined with conventional 2D mammography, breast cancer screening with tomosynthesis has a higher cancer detection rate than conventional 2D mammography alone.   

With the Selenia® Dimensions® breast tomosynthesis system made by Hologic, exceptionally sharp breast images are produced. Radiologists are reporting that tomosynthesis technology gives them increased confidence with a significant reduction in recall rates.  For more information about 3D tomosynthesis breast screening, please visit www.mclaren.org/MacombBreastCenter or call the McLaren Macomb Breast Center (586) 493-3790

McLaren Macomb first in Southeast Michigan to offer Tomosynthesis 3D Breast Screening Technology

MOUNT CLEMENS, MI – McLaren Macomb is the first and only hospital in Southeast Michigan to offer women who undergo routine mammograms the latest screening and diagnostic technology available to them.

The McLaren Macomb Breast Center now offers 3D digital tomosynthesis for breast cancer screening. This three dimensional imaging technology produces a revolutionary type of mammogram by reconstructing a series of one-millimeter thick breast image slices into a 3D view of the breast.

This helps radiologists identify and characterize individual breast structures without the confusion of overlapping tissue. 

McLaren Macomb's trauma team saves a life

The importance of a verified trauma center becomes very apparent as a near fatal car accident victim must be transferred to McLaren Macomb.

To become a verified trauma center, hospitals must meet rigorous national standards—like having trauma surgeons evaluate patients within 15 minutes of arrival. At McLaren Macomb, that's not good enough. We understand that minutes make a difference. That's why our trauma surgeons are in-house 24/7 to evaluate each trauma patient immediately upon arrival.
