Markey Cancer Center Adds New Technology

{Lexington, Kentucky}...The Markey Cancer Center at the University of Kentucky is offering a new technology in its Comprehensive Breast Care Center. Digital tomosynthesis, a process which allows the technician to take multiple X-ray pictures and combines them all into one 3-D image, will be available for the first time in Kentucky at the center beginning in February. The university says it allows radiologists to see individual breast structures without the confusion of overlapping tissues.
