The IVCH 3D Mammography installation is under way! After being awarded a $1.9 million grant from The Helmsley Charitable Trust, the Health System worked quickly to designate space and start construction in an effort to implement this new service line at the Hospital as soon as possible.
Having local access to 3D Mammography is lifesaving. As opposed to a standard 2D Mammography, a 3D Mammography helps physicians detect small cancers and masses that may be hidden in dense breast tissue. This reduces the number of false positives that would require follow-up imaging. Early cancer detection is key to effective treatment and increased survival rates.
The goal is to have this project completed in early to mid-2024. We are extraordinarily grateful to The Helmsley Charitable Trust team and our incredible donor constituency. Bringing another lifesaving service to IVCH would not have been possible without their support!
