40% of American women have dense breasts, if you’ve ever been told that you’re one of them, ABUS (automated breast ultrasound) is for you.
Traditional mammograms may miss up to 1/3 of cancers in dense breasts. Invenia ABUS uses 3D ultrasound technology to comfortably and quickly image women with dense breast tissue. Each exam takes approximately 15 minutes and is typically done after your annual mammogram.
In Central Virginia, ABUS is only available at Henrico Doctors’ and Johnston-Willis Hospitals.
