BLUE HILL, Maine — A new tool in the fight against breast cancer for certain patients is now being used at Blue Hill Hospital.
The new 3D mammogram machine provides women in the area with better access to better scans, these 3D scans let doctors more easily detect cancers at their earlier stages.
"What the 3D tomosynthesis does is it essentially takes the breast tissue and separates it for us, so you can really look in between underlying breast tissue and overlapping breast tissue," Natalie Stanley, director of imaging at Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital, said.
