| Because the condition is so rare, general screening by mammography, ultrasound, or other methods is not recommended. |
|
| Part of the funds has already been used to fund mammography training for two radiologists at the hospital. |
|
| Optical mammography, for example, will probably find first use as an adjunct to conventional mammography rather than as a replacement. |
|
| Firstly, mammography was given annually rather than biennially, as has been usual in other modern breast cancer screening trials. |
|
| Whether these results can be extrapolated to large radial scars detected by mammography is unresolved and requires further investigation. |
|
| Early detection through mammography has been a major factor in the dramatic decrease in breast cancer mortality. |
|
| There have been significant new diagnostic tools, such as X-ray imagery, CAT scans, mammography, and sonograms, to mention only a few. |
|
| This includes staff members in mammography, nuclear medicine, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, physical medicine, and clinics. |
|
| The image-guided biopsy uses either ultrasound or mammography to stereotactically localize the suspicious lesion. |
|
| No mass was palpated on physical examination, and her mammography was negative. |
|
| This could be accomplished by having a radiologist present during mammography to review films. |
|
| In the past women have been referred inappropriately for mammography and genetic counselling. |
|
| If the area is not palpable, diagnostic mammography and ultrasonography should be performed. |
|
| A pregnancy test, computed tomography scan and, possibly, mammography may also be indicated. |
|
| Three trials found that mammography of younger women did not improve their chances of survival. |
|
| Women between the ages of 50 and 69 should receive a mammography every two years to ensure that, if cancer does develop, it is caught early. |
|
| This factor distinguishes the two types of mammography equipment: analogue mammography and digital mammography. |
|
| From the patient's view, the position, the pressure of the plates and how the machine looks are all nearly the same as the standard mammography machine. |
|
| They have only four mammography units in the entire Strip serving close to one million women. |
|
| For others it will involve screening by mammography or colonoscopy. |
|
|
|
| This is why we insist on both mammography and physical examination. |
|
| Two view mammography and double reading will help reduce false negative rates, but reducing the time between screens should also help to minimise true interval cancers. |
|
| Other possible causes are trauma or injury to the breast, compression from mammography, accidents during implantation or explantation, manufacturing defects, and normal wear. |
|
| The situation regarding mammography was also discussed and the possibility of having a Research Fellow to study this was supported. |
|
| We must focus on things that we already know we should be doing better, such as mammography. |
|
| One factor in this progress are three mobile screening mammography units, which have dramatically improved access to routine mammograms. |
|
| Doctors have been sent abroad for training in pap smear, mammography, cytology, radiology, and sexually-transmitted diseases. |
|
| This is almost certainly due to a combination of the use of hormone replacement therapy and mammography screening. |
|
| The completion of the conversion to digital mammography from analog will provide the needed capacity. |
|
| The new findings come from the SCRY cohort, which may be the largest study of screening mammography in this age group. |
|
| Alongside proposals for mammography screening for women aged 50-69, for faecal occult blood testing of people aged 50-74 and for cervical smears for women aged 20-30, other urgent actions are needed. |
|
| It would also be a good idea to showcase the company's competitive technologies and products, such as organic light-emitting diode, triacetyl cellulose film for liquid crystal polarizing plate protection, and mammography. |
|
| The mammography and echograph can be carried out without any problem. |
|
| Computed radiography systems, using laser-stimulated photo-stimulable phosphor technology, which are widely used for general radiography, are increasingly also used for mammography. |
|
| Surprisingly, they suggested that mammography may actually lead to an increase in mastectomies, the opposite of the conventional belief that early detection leads to less aggressive treatment. |
|
| But Mr. Schandler said the hospital also wanted to ensure that such services as mammography screening, bone densitometry and some biopsy procedures are convenient and accessible for women living elsewhere in the county. |
|
| Elo's medical-grade LCD touchmonitors provide the ideal operator interface for both radiological imaging equipment such as digital and computed radiography, digital fluoroscopy and mammography, and nuclear medicine. |
|
| New modalities, such as stereotactic breast localisation, digital mammography, and storage phosphor mammography, are being introduced or are in development. |
|
| Proponents of prostate screening point to the success of routine mammography for women over 50 in greatly reducing the breast-cancer mortality rate. |
|
| Dr Aalbers indicated that he knew of no proposals yet, but that there is in progress a European comparison for air kerma from mammography x-ray beams that perhaps could become a supplementary comparison. |
|
|
|
| Manufacturers of breast screening equipment and responsible authorities have responded to previous editions by raising their standards of mammography equipment and imaging to meet European levels. |
|
| Six jurisdictions will implement a guarantee for radiation therapy, two for cardiac surgery, and one each for cataract surgery, mammography, diagnostic imaging, and primary health care. |
|
| The Bureau's Web site provides information on a variety of topics, including sun protection, mammography and long-term use of cellular telephones. |
|
| Nonetheless, mammography remains the best screening method. |
|
| Since no changes took place in childhood immunization or cervical cancer screening during this period, longitudinal information on these services was used as a control for comparison with the mammography data. |
|
| Have a clinical breast examination by a trained healthcare professional at least every 2 years. Talk to your doctor about your risk of breast cancer, along with the benefits and risks of mammography. |
|
| And again, what are the concrete harms, if any, of mammography? |
|
| Lou et al reported a full-field direct digital mammography telemammography system that incorporated telediagnosis, teleconsultation, and telemanagement. |
|
| Examination chairs covers the market study for chairs such as birthing chairs, cardiac chairs, blood drawing chairs, dialysis chairs and mammography chairs. |
|
| Therefore, the risk from mammography is essentially only that of induced breast cancer, while PEM can lead to cancer induction in any number of radiosensitive organs. |
|
| Before treatment all subjects underget a mammography and blood samples were taken to value hepatic funtionality, lipidic and aemocoagulative patterns. |
|
| An aerobics workout featuring Donna Storm, a large breast cancer semipostal stamp and a mammography van will be present to help support the breast cancer awareness cause. |
|
| Mammography generally does not demonstrate a distinct mass, spiculation or microcalcification. |
