Breast CT in comparison to Mammography

Case study from MVZ Uhlenbrock und Partner, Dortmund:
During a routine mammography, radiologist Karsten Ridder discovered an architectural distortion that indicated a BI-RADS V.
This suspicious finding was additionally examined with nu:view breast CT.
The breast CT images clearly showed three suspicious lesions, which not only have an architectural distortion but also a high contrast intake which is typical for a carcinoma.
Furthermore, the images depicted a small intramammary lymph node that was not metastatic.
This video clearly shows the difference between 3D High Resolution images in comparison to 2D mammography images. Radiologists absolutely benefit from nu:view diagnostic capabilities.
Images taken with contrast media
Isotopic voxel size: 0.15 mm

Hello, is your breast CT scanner available for women's screenings in the USA? I live in Nashville, Tennessee.

[@ab-ctadvancedbreast-ct172]

Thank you for your interest.
We currently do not have FDA clearance and cannot yet offer you the device or an examination with nu:view in North America.
We will of course work on a clearance by the FDA but currently I cannot give you a positive answer to your question

Good day. I want to know can I go for a mammogram with a pacemaker. I had a pacemaker 6 months ago. Thanks.

You can usually still have a mammography if you have a pacemaker, but it might be more uncomfortable than usual because of any scars you may have.
Breast-CT examination procedure is even less painful, as the breast or sensitive scar tissue does not have to be compressed, while true 3D images of the breast are captured.
