Top-of-the-line, outstanding versatility


 

Mammography is an extremely sensitive radiographic study. A mammogram is a simple x-ray of any other part of the body, but most commonly applied for the examination of the breast. The radiographic technique is tuned to be as sensitive as possible to soft tissues. The amount of radiation required has also been minimized.

Currently over 900,000 new breast cancer cases are registered annually worldwide. Clinical studies have proven that with early detection and proper patient management and screening, the mortality rate is reduced significantly. The MNAP Diagnostic Center provides a unique synergistic approach for breast disease management where mammography systems are the core products.

MAMMOMAT 3000 is known for its patient comfort features, ergonomics, and efficiency. It supports high'volume screening as well as interventional diagnostics. Versatile procedural capabilities include magnification, needle localization, and specimen radiography. 19114

• Screening, special views, magnifications and digital spot imaging
• Highest patient comfort





The Clinical Challenge
"Twenty to forty percent of early-stage breast cancers go undetected at the time of screening."
Harvey JA, Fajardo LL, Innis CA. Previous mammograms in patients with impalpable breast carcinoma: retrospective vs blinded interpretation. Am J Roentgenol. 1993;161:1167-1172.

Interpreting mammograms is a very challenging job. Normal breast tissue varies widely among women and can even vary for the same woman over time.

The combination of viewing a large number of cases, radiologist fatigue, the complex image structure of the breast on a mammogram and the subtle nature of early signs of the disease can result in false negative readings. In fact, studies show that as many as one third of the undetected cancers are missed as a result of observational oversights - regardless of the experience or expertise of the doctor.
The ImageChecker® Solution
"Use of the ImageChecker® system could result in earlier detection of up to 23.4% of the cancers currently detected with screening mammography in those women who had a prior screening mammogram 9-24 months earlier."
-FDA-approved claim

The ImageChecker system is the first FDA approved computer-aided detection system (CAD) for mammography. ImageChecker analyzes medical images using proprietary software that highlights areas that contain features associated with cancer.

The ImageChecker system acts like a "spellchecker" for medical images, performing over one billion calculations per film. It is designed to assist radiologists in reducing the number of false-negative readings by drawing attention to areas that warrant a second review.

The resulting reduction in observational oversights aids radiologists with earlier detection of breast cancers.

MNAP Diagnostic Center is proud to offer this innovative technology to patients in our community.
