Physicians and Advocates discuss importance of mammograms.
October is just about to end as is Breast Cancer Awareness month.
And getting a mammogram, it can be a life-saving exam.
A relatively new technology is helping radiologists like Doctor Jane Conlin detect breast cancer better, 3D mammography.
"It just gives like magnificent detail, and we can find breast cancers earlier and smaller that are otherwise hard to see,” Conlin, a Diagnostic Radiologist at Sharp Rees Stealy, said.

The technology has helped women like Merrilee Neal.
"I feel very fortunate that, during this time period when there were changes in my body and 3D mammograms were available, that I had access to them,” Neal said.
Neal is a nine-year breast cancer survivor.
She said the technology allows her to stay ahead in her fight against it.
"But, to me, taking the precautions and doing these diagnostics are fair less scary of being able to adapt to what we need to do for our health,” Neal said.
