3D digital tomography reduces pain and improves quality.

According to the death statistics of the Ministry of Health and the cancer registration data of national health institutions, more than 1 10,000 women suffer from breast cancer every year, and more than 2,000 women die of breast cancer, which is equivalent to about 3 1 woman being diagnosed with breast cancer every day, and 6 women lose their precious lives due to breast cancer. In addition to X-ray photography and ultrasonic scanning, breast cancer screening tools, according to the report published by JAMA20 14 of the American Medical Association, digital three-dimensional multi-slice tomography can improve the diagnosis rate of breast cancer.

*** X-ray photography can effectively detect breast cancer early.

At present, the most medically proven breast cancer screening method in the world, X-ray photography can effectively find early and improve the prognosis, which can find calcification or tumor and asymptomatic stage 0 breast cancer. Studies have shown that women over 45 years old receive 1 x-ray examination every 1-3 years, which can reduce the mortality of breast cancer by 20-30%. Generally, traditional X-ray photography is not easy to diagnose tumor images, and because of the dense breast tissue and overlapping images (especially for oriental women), some lesions are not easy to be found in X-ray photography, resulting in 20%~30% of breast cancer patients can not be detected.

3D photography is clearer and the incision wound is smaller.

Chen, an attending physician in the Department of Imaging Medicine, Renai Hospital, Taipei United Hospital, said that digital three-dimensional multi-slice tomography has good sensitivity, which can eliminate confusion caused by overlapping images, reduce the false positive rate of * * * photography and reduce unnecessary biopsy. It is equipped with a 3D computer-guided slicing system. In the past, the traditional fine needle positioning section would cause a wound of 3-5 cm, and the recovery time of the wound would take about 7- 10 days. The incision of the new system is only about 0.5 cm, and the recovery time of the wound is only about 2-3 days with the vacuum suction system.

3D photography can reduce the review rate by 40%.

According to the report published by JAMA20 14, the detection rate of breast cancer increased from 4.2/ 1000 to 5.4/ 1000, and the positive predictive value of biopsy also increased from 24.2% to 29.2%. Other documents have also reported that three-dimensional multi-slice tomography can improve the detection rate of 4 1% breast cancer in dense * *, and reduce the recall rate by 20-40%.

Women can relieve pain.

In the process of traditional X-ray photography, in order to get a clear image, it is necessary to clip the X-ray film to a thickness of about 4 cm under pressure to clearly show the lesion, which makes the subjects quite uncomfortable, and even makes the women who have taken traditional X-ray photography pale and even unwilling to be examined again. And this new digital 3D *** tomographic camera can greatly reduce women's pain and provide better image diagnosis quality and service for women. The National Health Service of the Ministry of Health and Welfare provides free screening for women aged 45-69 every two years, and female friends can choose 3D photography with less pain to check her health.
