Fairbanks Imaging & Breast Center offers 3D mammography, also known as digital breast tomosynthesis, which is a breakthrough technology that provides a more clear and accurate view of the breasts using x-ray exposure that is safely below the American College of Radiology (ACR) guidelines. 

With this technology, multiple images are taken from different angles, producing a 3D image of the breast, which allows our radiologists to see the layers of the breast tissue more clearly. This improves cancer detection and decreases the number of false positives. Since our radiologists are on-site, you leave your mammogram with greater peace of mind. 

Fairbanks Imaging & Breast Center is the first to have state-of-the-art equipment specifically designed for women’s imaging needs, offering the SmartCurve™ breast stabilization system, providing a more comfortable mammogram experience for women.

The SmartCurve™ system is an attachment to the Hologic Genius 3Dimensional mammogram machine found in FIBC. The paddle is curved to mimic the natural shape of a woman’s breast, and evenly distributes pressure during the mammogram exam. Transforming the mammogram experience, the paddle provides a more comfortable mammogram without compromising quality or accuracy.

By investing in the most advanced technology, FIBC demonstrates our commitment to the women of the Fairbanks community. As the only facility with the SmartCurve™ system, FIBC can provide a better patient experience for women.
