Hoefer Comprehensive Breast Center for her scan. Months earlier, Flores had found money in her hospital’s budget to purchase the first 3-D mammography device, also known as tomosynthesis, to pilot the new technology for the Sentara Cancer Network. That afternoon, radiologist Kelley Allison, M.D., saw cancer in both of Debra’s breasts, including a tiny Stage ‘0’ tumor.
