Ceremony to be held at 8:30 a.m., May 8

Cox Barton County Hospital is enhancing breast cancer detection and care by upgrading its mammography equipment to 3D technology, thanks to generous funding from the CoxHealth Foundation.

Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), also known as 3D technology, captures multiple images of the breast from different angles, providing radiologists with a more accurate view and increasing diagnostic confidence.

What: Ribbon-cutting ceremony with photo and video opportunities of upgraded 3D technology
When: 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, May 8
