Are you looking for a reliable and convenient way to get accurate breast biopsies done? Euromedica is pleased to introduce magnetic tomography as part of our enhanced breast center services.
It is a non-invasive, painless, and more accurate method of detecting breast cancer that outshines other traditional breast biopsy methods.
What is Magnetic Tomography?
Magnetic Tomography is a medical imaging method used for detecting abnormalities in soft tissues.
This imaging method uses strong magnetic fields, radio waves, and a computer to produce detailed images of internal structures of the body without using ionizing radiation.
How Does it Work?
During the examination, the patient lies on a table and is placed inside the magnet. The magnetic field aligns atomic nuclei in the body and radio waves are pulsed.
These pulses cause the nuclei to produce signals that are picked up and processed by a computer into detailed images. Magnetic tomography can be used to look at the body in a variety of ways, such as head, limbs, chest, pelvis, or other parts of the body.
The Benefits of Magnetic Tomography for Breast Biopsies at Euromedica
Magnetic tomography is a revolutionary new method of detecting abnormalities in breast tissues. It has several benefits over traditional breast biopsy methods, including:.
- Accuracy: Magnetic tomography provides highly accurate information about the size, location, and types of lumps in your breast. The chances of a false positive are significantly lower than traditional biopsy methods.
- Painless: The patient feels no pain during the procedure and is not exposed to ionizing radiation, unlike mammograms.
- Non-Invasive: Magnetic tomography uses no needles or incisions, which means that there is no scarring or bruising of the breast tissue.
- Convenience: Magnetic tomography can be done quickly and conveniently in the same session as other imaging exams.
Who Needs Magnetic Tomography Breast Biopsies?
If you have a breast lump that needs to be checked, your doctor may refer you for a biopsy.
Magnetic tomography is a useful tool for women with high-risk breast cancer or those who have an abnormal mammography or ultrasound that needs further examination. It is also recommended for women who have a family history of breast cancer.
