SYRACUSE — Upstate University Hospital has added a new imaging capability to help radiologists examine breast tissue.
The Syracuse hospital expanded its imaging technology to include three-dimensional mammography, also known as tomosynthesis. The imaging is similar to a standard mammogram, but it looks at 1-millimeter slices of breast tissue for more detailed evaluations.
“With our new technology, dense breasts can be evaluated,” Dr. Deepa Masrani, Upstate women’s imaging section chief, said in a news release.

Evaluating dense breasts is important because they can increase a woman’s risk for cancer — and dense-tissue cancers can be difficult to spot on a standard mammogram.
Upstate started using the three-dimensional imaging in January. Its offering came as a new state law took effect on Jan. 19. New York started requiring mammography centers to alert women who have dense breasts.
Upstate University Hospital offers tomosynthesis at its Breast Imaging Center of the Women’s Health Network. The center is in suite 120 at 550 Harrison Center in Syracuse.
