New Test Gives Clearer Breast Cancer Screenings
October 13, 2009
Doctors at Consulting Radiologists in Minneapolis are using a new tool to help them narrow in on possible trouble spots that may be preventing early detection.
Piper's Medical Director, Radiologist Dr. Deborah Day has read countless mammograms, but even her skilled eye sometimes finds an image to be inconclusive.
"If it looks at an area of suspicion in the breast and says there's nothing to worry about, doctors can be 95 percent sure the patient has no cancer," said Day. "With this tool fewer cancers will be missed. Also, because about 60 percent of breast lumps are not cancerous, invasive procedures like biopsies may be avoided."
