Change for Mammograms

Almost every year, woman are responsible to make an appointment to get a mammogram done.  A mammogram is done traditionally by a woman's breast being  squashed in order to check for breast cancer.  This uncomfortable procedure is now going to be replaced by a breast "tomosynthesis."  This is a 3D breast scan that will more advancely and digitally detect breast cancer as did the mammorgram.  According to a Penn physicist, "this is the biggest improvement in the histiry of mammography."
