Clinical case: Silicone Implant

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. Even MRI was no alternative because of a pacemaker on the left side of the chest wall.

Breast CT clearly demonstrates its potential.

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...
