Northside was the first hospital in Atlanta to offer 3D mammography, offering it at its Atlanta Breast Care Center in September 2011. The latest generation of the technology provides a more comfortable experience, with equipment that is curved to fit the patient and a shorter compression time.

During the same compression, patients receive their traditional screening mammogram in combination with breast tomosynthesis, which takes a series of low-dose images from multiple angles around the breast. The images are then reconstructed by a computer to provide a 3D model of the breast.
