Orlando Health St. Cloud Hospital now offers 3D mammography

March 9, 2026

Orlando, FL (March 9, 2026) Orlando Health St. Cloud Hospital is now offering 3D mammography, also known as digital breast tomosynthesis, expanding access to advanced breast cancer screening for patients in Osceola County.

3D mammography creates a three-dimensional image of a breast by capturing multiple images from different angles, which enables breast tissue to be evaluated layer by layer rather than as a single flat image. That added depth significantly improves the ability to identify small, invasive cancers earlier, particularly in patients with dense breast tissue, while also reducing unnecessary callbacks.

“Every clearer image represents an opportunity to detect cancer at an early stage, which means more treatment options that are typically less invasive,” said Sara Ardila, MD, breast surgical oncologist with Orlando Health Cancer Institute — St. Cloud. “When patients can access advanced screening close to home, they are more likely to stay consistent with annual mammograms. Screenings truly save lives, and having 3D mammography available in the St. Cloud community ensures that our patients receive the highest standard of care, delivered with both precision and compassion.”
