Mammography

Mammography is an X-ray examination of breast tissue. Special devices called mammographs are used to conduct the examination. This is the gold standard for diagnosing oncological diseases. During screening, benign and malignant neoplasms in the soft tissues of the mammary glands are detected.

Digital mammograph: features and advantages

Benign neoplasms in the mammary gland area are a common pathology that is detected in 25% of 30-year-old women and in 60% of patients who have reached 40 years of age. Annual mammography is a mandatory examination for women over 40. The success of therapy and survival prognosis depend on the quality of diagnostics. Mammography equipment can be digital and analog. Digital mammographs reflect advanced technologies in the field of medical research. Analog equipment is designed to obtain images on film. Digital models transmit the image to a computer, where a variety of actions are available:

• Saving in a computer file format for processing and comparison with subsequent results, monitoring the condition of the tumor or the effectiveness of treatment. Transferring data over the Internet to hold a consultation or to receive data from a remote patient for a medical consultation.
• Connection to a thermal printer and printing graphic information on paper.
• A digital mammography device provides high resolution and image contrast, which allows you to detect the smallest pathological formations with a diameter of 0.1 mm. Thanks to the computer file format, the doctor analyzes the image in detail - rotates in different directions, repeatedly increases, changes the contrast and brightness.

Digital mammography device: advantages

Early diagnosis of cancer makes it possible to use less aggressive treatment methods. Due to the high accuracy of the diagnostic examination, the risk of medical errors is reduced. Advantages of digital mammographs:

• Formation of a three-dimensional image by combining multiple images in different projections.
• The ability to detect the smallest neoplasms in soft tissues - calcifications, cysts, seals.
• Minimization of errors and false positive results, no need for a repeat examination.

A digital mammography device provides high information content, safety and accuracy of the study. Modern models pay special attention to reducing radiation exposure and ergonomics. The patient receives 20% less radiation than when undergoing examination on analog equipment. Fixing the breast for diagnostics does not cause pain or discomfort to the patient. Digital mammography is based on the use of special software, which is designed to automatically configure the device and analyze the results.

Mammography machine: scope of application

To improve the efficiency and quality of medical services, you should buy mammography equipment. The device is necessary for the full operation of hospitals, clinics, diagnostic and specialized centers. Indications for examination:

• The presence of seals in the area of ​​​​soft tissue of the breast, which are detected during a physical examination and palpation.
• Symptoms of an oncological neoplasm - a change in the shape and contours of the breast, asymmetric position and unequal sizes of the left and right glands, pain and increased sensitivity.
• Screening diagnostics as part of the prevention of cancer for women over 40 years of age.

A modern mammography machine simulates a volumetric 3D projection. Spatial visualization simplifies the process of assessing the condition of the soft structures of the mammary gland. Additional advantages of modern models are simple control, several shooting modes, automation of routine operations, automatic adjustment of operation when selecting a mode.

Mammography machine: types

Devices differ in size and functionality. Stationary models are designed for research in diagnostic centers, hospitals, clinics. A mobile mammograph significantly simplifies the work of medical personnel in large medical institutions. If necessary, diagnostics using a mobile device are carried out in a ward (for bedridden patients) or in different departments of the clinic.

Mobile models are mobile, which allows the use of equipment for stereotactic biopsy - taking a tissue sample for histological analysis. Control using diagnostic equipment makes it possible to take tissue samples with an accuracy of up to a millimeter.

A portable mammograph is primarily intended for equipping emergency vehicles and providing medical services on-site — at the patient’s home. Portable models are usually equipped with a built-in battery that supports autonomous operation without the need to connect to an electrical outlet. An additional advantage of portable models is their low price compared to powerful stationary analogs.
