diagnosis of breast diseases

breast tomosynthesis

is an advanced form of mammography, a specific type of breast imaging that uses low doses of x-rays to detect cancer early, when the cancer is most treatable

Procedure performed by the imaging technologist at the time of performing the mammography to clarify anomalies observed in conventional mammography due to its multiple cuts that allow the observation of breast tissue in 3D

sentinel node biopsy

It is a procedure done to find out if the cancer has spread. It indicates whether cancer cells have broken away from where they started and whether they have spread to the lymph nodes. Sentinel lymph node biopsy is usually done in people with breast cancer, melanoma, and other types of cancer.

For this biopsy, a lymphoscintigraphy, a procedure performed by the radiologist in the C-arm, is performed one hour before the surgery in order to identify whether complete lymph node emptying should be performed in the surgical procedure or not.

stereotaxic breast biopsy

procedure that is performed in the mammography equipment by compressing the tissue found with the microcalcifications through radiology images to determine the exact place where the biopsy should be taken

procedure in which the patient is placed in a seated position in front of the mammogram, using the compressors, the breast tissue to be studied is stopped and using a thick biopsy needle, punctures are performed that will help collect the tissue that will be sent to pathology. This study is carried out by the radiologist and the imaging technologist.

breast MRI

procedure that uses the magnetic field and radio waves to generate images of the breast tissue that are stored in a computer to later be analyzed by the radiologist who will read these images.

In this study, the patient is placed on the resonator table in a prone position and the breasts are introduced into the special antenna for mammography. The examination is performed, which consists of the use of the magnetic field and radio waves to achieve the results. images process carried out by the image technologist.

breast ultrasound

procedure that uses radio waves that allow images of visible breast tissue to be generated, which help to review changes that have been reported in mammography or in a physical breast examination.

Study carried out by the radiologist when the mammography is not diagnostic consists of positioning the patient in a supine position and placing a gel in the breast to be studied which serves as a conductor and proceeds to perform the examination which uses radio waves to achieve the results. images this will result in the observation that the professional had during the study.

Magnetic Resonance Breast Spectroscopy

Breast resonance with spectroscopy is a non-invasive technique that can provide metabolic information of a specific tissue. The evaluation of breast lesions both in diagnosis and in early response monitoring have been some of the most recently used applications.

In this study, the patient is placed on the MRI table in a prone position and the breasts are inserted into the special mammography antenna. The examination is performed, which consists of the use of the magnetic field and radio waves to achieve the results, in addition to using high-quality images that allow the detail of the anomalies. Imaging processing performed by the imaging technologist.

Fine needle aspiration biopsy

During this procedure, a small amount of breast tissue or fluid is removed from the suspected area and examined for cancer cells.

procedure that is performed by means of ultrasound using a fine needle that is introduced into the breast tissue where malignancy is suspected and a small sample is extracted to be analyzed for pathology which will give the result of malignancy or not, this procedure is performed by the doctor radiologist

breast self examination

It consists of a physical examination that women must perform one week after the menstrual cycle that consists of palpating the breast tissue in a clockwise direction with the intention of looking for denser and more painful abnormal tissue.

examination that is carried out by the woman at home in which the chest must be uncovered and the woman proceeds to palp the breast tissue with the upper extremity opposite to the breast to be evaluated, this must be done like the hands of the clock slowly and palpating all the tissue meticulously

breast screening

It consists of a physical examination performed by the gynecologist inspecting the breast tissue in its different quadrants, including the tail of Espence, in search of tissue asymmetries or palpable nodules.

It is a physical study that is carried out at the gynecology check-up appointment in patients who manifest changes in the breast tissue or symptoms such as pain, changes in skin collation, discharge of secretion after performing the breast self-examination in their home

mammography

It consists of an examination that uses ionizing radiation to generate radiographic plates that allow visualization of the breast tissue and to carry out the respective follow-up if changes are observed in the tissue.

indicated in women over 40 years of age up to 54 years of age annually and women over 55 years of age, every 2 years, two basic projections are performed: the cranial caudal at 0° and the mediolateral oblique at 45°, additionally one lateral at 90° if asymmetries are observed.
