nu:view Breast CT | Showcase of implant rupture

Video of a breast implant with massive calcifications, degenerated silicone and a covered rupture in the upper/outer quadrant.

This video shows the potential of real 3D breast imaging with nu:view.

The breast implant has massive calcifications (white) and degenerated silicone (dark blue) and a covered rupture in the upper/outer quadrant (shown with cursor). The glandular tissue is perfectly delineated. There is no tumor.

A conventional mammography with compression might have resulted in a complete rupture of this implant.

Thanks to the compression-free examination with nu:view, the implant remained unaffected.

A big thank you to Dr. med. Karsten Ridder from MVZ Prof. Dr. Uhlenbrock und Partner for sharing this case!

20-year-old implant with massive calcifications and rupture

Impressive breast CT video of a 20-year-old breast implant with massive calcifications and a big rupture, covered by calcifications on the upper outer quadrant of the breast. The glandular tissue is perfectly examined. There is no tumor. Mammography was not possible due to the compression of the breast, which would have resulted in a complete rupture of the implant. Ev...

Photon-Counting Spiral Breast CT: Dose-Efficient 3D Imaging

nu:view breast CT allows for high-resolution 3D imaging without breast compression, combining cutting-edge imaging capabilities with patient experience. But what about the radiation dose?

In a retrospective study with 1657 breast CT examinations (829 patients), it was shown that radiation exposure of an examination using spiral breast CT equipped with a photon-counting detector [nu:view system] was lower than in diagnostic mammography and cone-beam breast CT. While other dose studies only examine phantoms, this is the first patient-specific dose study usi...
