By GPRMC Press Release – Marnie Tosh

Great Plains Regional Medical Center is excited to offer Genius™ 3D Mammography™ exams, developed by Hologic, Inc., a worldwide leader in Women’s Health.

Utilizing advanced breast tomosynthesis technology, Genius exams are clinically proven to significantly increase the detection of breast cancers, and also decrease the number of women asked to return for additional testing.

In conventional 2D mammography, overlapping tissue is a leading reason why small breast cancers may be missed and normal tissue may appear abnormal, leading to unnecessary callbacks.

A Genius exam

includes a three dimensional method of imaging that can greatly reduce the tissue overlap effect.

A Genius exam includes both 2D images and tomosynthesis scans. During the tomosynthesis-DIMENSIONAL portion of the exam, an X-ray arm sweeps in a slight arc over the breast, taking multiple images. A computer then converts the images into a stack of thin layers, allowing the radiologist to review the breast tissue one layer at a time.

A Genius exam requires no additional compression and takes just a few seconds longer than a conventional 2D breast cancer screening exam.

Our Genius™ 3D Mammography™ exam, available on the 3Dimensions™ and Selenia Dimensions systems from Hologic, are revolutionizing how breast cancer is detected by providing a better option for women of all breast densities compared to 2D alone. 1-2 Researchers have found that:

The Genius™ 3D Mammography™ exam finds 20-65% more invasive breast cancers compared to 2D alone, an average increase of 41%.3

Only the Genius ™ 3D Mammography ™ exam is FDA approved as superior for women with dense breasts compared to 2D alone.1-2

The Genius™ 3D Mammography™ exam reduces callbacks by up to 40% compared to 2D alone.

Great Plains Regional Medical Center is committed to the fight against breast cancer. In offering the Genius exam, GPRMC provides a more accurate tool for breast cancer screening.

Gary Naron, director of radiology at GPRMC, noted that, “At GPRMC we are dedicated to providing superior care to our patients and with the Genius 3D Mammography™ exam we can do just that.”

If you would like to schedule a Genius 3D Mammography™ exam, or have questions about this important breast health procedure, please contact GPRMC at (580) 821-5565.
