What is breast tomosynthesis, a three-dimensional X-ray examination of the breasts?
Dr. Lívia Péter, a radiologist at Mind Clinic, emphasizes that breast cancer is not a fatal disease when detected early, as she specializes in breast diagnostics.
In addition to traditional mammography, there is an option for breast tomosynthesis, which is recommended for several patient groups and involves a three-dimensional X-ray examination of the breasts. Tomosynthesis can detect 29-41% more breast cancers than traditional mammography, while the associated additional radiation exposure is negligible. This method is particularly advantageous for dense, glandular breast tissue. At Mind Clinic, we examine our patients using one of the most advanced mammography devices, the Senographe Pristina from GE Medical Systems SCS. Its advanced software ensures that the difference in radiation dose between tomosynthesis and traditional mammography approaches zero.
