At theIRCCS San Raffaele and the San Raffaele Termini Outpatient Clinic there is a 3D Mammography with Tomosynthesis – MAMMOMAT Inspiration PRIME Edition – Siemens, equipped with technology Progressive Reconstruction Intelligently Minimizing Exposure, an intelligent software solution that provides dose savings of up to 30 percent and very high image quality.
Mammography is the main examination related to breast diagnostics. Performed at regular time intervals, it is considered a preventive examination, as it can safeguard a woman’s health and breast integrity. It is an examination performed in the radiology outpatient department that can accurately detect the occurrence of nodules related to the presence of a tumor.
Three-dimensional mammography with tomosynthesis, makes it possible to reduce exposure time and even radiation dose to the point of customization through an algorithm, producing excellent quality images.
It is a quantum leap that allows for greater clarity of results and a higher detection rate, even in cases of high mammary gland density.
The frequency of performing mammography, varies depending on the age and certain risk factors of the patient. In general:
Mammography reports no particular risks or contraindications. It has a very short run time and may create only mild discomfort during breast compression, between the plates of the equipment. Moreover, the benefit given by the diagnostic test, is calculated to far outweigh any risks associated with x-rays.
Preparation for mammography does not involve any special precautions on the part of the patient in anticipation of the diagnostic examination. It is also performed in the presence of breast implants and, in general, is not recommended to be performed during the period of the menstrual cycle as it may be more painful.
