Digital mammography with Planmed Clarity 3D is a cutting-edge method for imaging and analyzing breast tissue. This technology uses advanced digital detectors to produce high-quality, clear images, ensuring precise detection of even the smallest abnormalities.
 
Advantages:
Lower radiation doses: Minimizes exposure while maintaining image quality.
Enhanced image clarity and contrast: Allows for better differentiation of tissues.
Digital processing and storage: Facilitates easy access and long-term storage of images.
Faster results: Provides quick and accurate outcomes for timely diagnosis.
 
Procedure:
During the procedure, the breast is gently compressed between two plates to capture clear images. This quick process may cause minor discomfort but is essential for obtaining detailed visuals of the breast tissue.
 
Uses:
Screening for breast cancer: Essential for early detection.
Diagnosing symptoms: Effective for identifying lumps, changes in breast shape, or other abnormalities.
Monitoring high-risk patients: Helps in regular evaluation for those with a higher risk of breast cancer.
Evaluating treatment effectiveness: Assesses the progress and effectiveness of ongoing treatment.
 
Preparation:
Avoid using deodorants, powders, or lotions on the day of the exam to ensure clear imaging.
Inform the technician about any breast implants or recent menstruation to adjust the procedure accordingly.
 
Contraindications to Mammography
There are no absolute contraindications to mammography. Relative contraindications include age under 35 years (as the breast tissue is dense at this age, and mammography often does not yield good results) and pregnancy.
Mammography is recommended for women aged 40 and above.
 
Importance:
Regular digital mammography with Planmed Clarity 3D plays a crucial role in the early detection and effective management of breast conditions, providing peace of mind and supporting overall breast health.
