Almuñécar launches 3D mammography and says goodbye to trips to Motril

Published on June 26, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

The residents of Almuñécar will no longer have to take the car to get a mammogram. The new 3D mammogram installed at the health center allows for early detection tests without leaving the municipality. This saves time and money, in addition to providing faster and more accurate diagnoses, improving access to a key test for women's health.

3D Technology for More Accurate Detection 🩺

The state-of-the-art equipment uses digital tomosynthesis to obtain three-dimensional images of the breast. Unlike conventional mammography, this system allows viewing the tissue in layers, reducing overlaps that can hide lesions. The test is similar to the traditional one but offers greater clarity and precision in detecting abnormalities. With this technology, specialists can identify signs of cancer at earlier stages, which improves treatment options and reduces the need for repeat exams.

Goodbye to Excuses: Gasoline Is No Longer a Reason to Skip the Check-up ⛽

Until now, many women postponed their mammogram, arguing they had to go to Motril, that gas is expensive, or that there was a long line at the nearby clinic. With the new device at home, those excuses have run out of fuel. Now it's time to face the real fear: the nurse making your chest as cold as an ice block at eight in the morning. Progress comes with these small discomforts.
