The Maury Regional Women’s Center in Columbia recently completed installation and received approval from the Federal Drug Administration for a second Genius™ 3D Mammography™ unit, according to Administrative Director of Oncology Services Dana Salters. The first Hologic, Inc. Genius™ 3D system has been operational at the Women’s Center since September 2016.

Salters said this advanced level of imaging technology has been very well received by patients.

The technology used for 3D mammography is clinically proven to significantly increase the detection of breast cancers, while also decreasing the number of women asked to return for additional testing when compared to 2D mammography.

A Genius exam includes both 2D and 3D images and the center offers women their choice of either exam.
