Breast Cancer Awareness Month #MammSaidSo
Know MoreThe radiology department is well equipped with cutting edge technology like mammography machine with Digital Breast Tomosynthesis, digital X-ray machine including the dual slice and 16 slice CT scanners, high-end sophisticated 3D and 4D ultrasonographic machines.
Assessment & Treatment of Abnormal Pap/Pre-Cancerous Conditions:
Cytecare is the first hospital in Karnataka to introduce Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (popularly known as 3D-Mammography) for women.
Digital mammography captures a single image of the breast and converts them to computer images. This digital conversion makes it easier for detection of any abnormalities, since the image can be zoomed in and out, and certain areas of interest can be highlighted as required.
Digital Breast Tomosynthesis can capture multiple images of the breast at different angles and these images are combined into a 3D image on a computer. This method of using a 3D mammogram has a greater accuracy of detection of breast cancer that may sometimes escape more traditional methods. Hence, digital breast tomosynthesis provides the advantage of enabling earlier detection of cancer.
Addition of DBT for breast cancer screening ultimately reduces the associated mortality and morbidity. Digital Breast Tomosynthesis offers maximum benefits for densely glandular breasts and for younger women. This has a large impact on decreasing the number of women undergoing unnecessary recalls or biopsies & plays a vital role in alleviating anxiety in women opting for screening tests.
3D mammography has been shown to reduce the percentage of missed cancers by 15% . More recent studies show about 30% increased 3D mammography sensitivity and specificity compared to 2D Mammography with a recalls reduction in screening by approximately 40% . The x-ray dose of 3D mammography is comparable to that of a 2D Mammogram. Therefore, the cumulative dose of the combined screening is still below the FDA-regulated limit and found to be safe and effective for patient use.
