Apart from avoiding misdiagnosis due to areas of overlapping breast tissue shown on the 2D mammograms, 3D mammogram also offers better image resolution and enables detection of lesions of as small as 1mm, aiding in more accurate identification and interpretation of pathological changes of the breast tissue.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><em>Better fit for Asian women<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Women\u2019s breast is made of mammary gland, lactiferous ducts, fatty tissues and glandular tissue.
