                  3D Mammography at Red Bud Regional Hospital


                  Red Bud, IL (January 14, 2019) – Red Bud Regional Hospital is proud to now offer 3D mammography (also called breast tomosynthesis). 3D mammography produces a three-dimensional view of the breast tissue, providing improved visibility for the radiologist to see the breast tissue in a way not possible with standard 2D.  

                  “Early detection is vital in the fight against breast cancer,” says Dr. Charles Smittkamp, Radiology Medical Director at Red Bud Regional Hospital. “By adding the set of image slices, 3D mammography makes suspicious areas of tissue easier to characterize, reduces the need for callbacks for additional views, and increases the likelihood that breast cancer will be diagnosed at its earliest, most treatable stage.”

                  3D mammography complements standard 2D mammography and is performed at the same time with the same system. Call today to schedule your screening or diagnostic mammogram. In addition to weekday appointments, Red Bud Regional offers Saturday appointments. Call Red Bud Regional Hospital’s Centralized Scheduling Office at (618) 282-4900 to learn more.
