富士的ASPIRE水晶, 可在门诊诊断中心获得, 是为了更好的患者体验而建立的吗. 独家舒适桨移动四种方式, 适应你的身体, while the ASPIRE Cristalle’s innovative 3D technology delivers excellent detail with a low radiation dose.

Experience the smarter 3D mammogram with improved diagnostic accuracy and less chance of a false-positive result and callback, 与单独的2D相比.

这就是为什么它是一种更聪明的乳房x光检查

更舒服:女性觉得乳房x光检查不舒服是有原因的. 乳房不应该被压平....或者换句话说,被压扁了! The ASPIRE Cristalle's patented Comfort Paddle was designed to gently adapt to your curves with four-way pivoting and flexible surfaces. This delivers more gradual, even compression of your breasts for a noticeably more comfortable exam.

More accurate readings: 3D mammography provides more detail than traditional 2D mammography. x射线系统快速扫过乳房, 从不同角度拍摄几张低剂量图像. 这些图像可以分成薄片观看. 这样医生就可以一层一层地看到你的乳房组织, 这可以帮助揭示异常,否则可能隐藏.

更少的回调:回调是乳房x光检查的一个事实. Callbacks can happen when a woman needs additional screening because the image showed a suspicious area. In many cases, 考试结果是正常的, 但是得到假阳性结果可能会很有压力. ASPIRE Cristalle's advanced image quality can help reduce the number of callbacks for non-cancer cases.

Questions

It's natural to have questions when getting a mammogram, especially if it's your first time. 以下是对常见问题的回答,可能会对您有所帮助.

为什么要做乳房x光检查?

Mammograms can often reveal breast cancer before any apparent symptoms or a lump can be felt. Early detection is critical to catching cancers before they progress to advanced stages.

使用ASPIRE Cristalle的3D考试会有不同的感觉吗?

舒适桨被设计成比传统机器更舒适. 但除此之外,都是一样的. 你的技术人员将以同样的方式帮助你在机器前定位.

它比其他乳房x光检查花的时间长吗?

3D只会给你的考试增加几秒钟的时间.

谁会看我的3D乳房x光片?

A board-certified radiologist with subspecialty training in breast imaging and 3D mammography will read your images and report the results back to you and your doctor.

我听说过数字乳房断层合成术(DBT).  这和3D是一回事吗?

Yes. 这是3D乳房x光检查的临床术语.

3D乳房x光检查有更多的辐射吗?

The radiation dose with 3D mammography is higher than traditional 2D mammograms because of the additional images captured; however, 但仍明显低于美国政府制定的剂量限值.S. 美国食品和药物管理局.

我如何准备3D乳房x光检查?

Prepare the same way you would prepare for a traditional mammogram: Do not wear jewelry, deodorant, perfume, 或者把乳液涂在腋下或躯干上. 除臭剂和粉末有时含有铝, 哪些图像与钙化相似并能干扰成像过程. 你得脱掉腰部以上的衣服, 所以穿衬衫配裤子, 不要穿连体裙. Schedule your mammogram after your menstrual period (instead of before or during) to minimize tenderness and discomfort. Limit intake of caffeinated drinks during the week before; caffeine can make breasts more tender, 哪一种会导致考试时更不舒服.

A series of X-rays that measures how many grams of calcium and other bone minerals are packed into a segment of bone; hip, leg, spine, 武器是一些常见的测试区域.

A CT scan offers more detailed information because it provides a series of X-ray images from different angles around a patient’s body. 然后,计算机对这些图像进行处理,生成骨骼的横截面图, 体内的血管和软组织.

The use of non-invasive imaging to diagnose patients; it includes procedures such as X-rays to detect broken bones or evaluate conditions such as lung function or  gastrointestinal disease processes.

一种医学成像,显示不间断的x射线图像, which is transmitted to a monitor so that the movement of a body part (or of an instrument or contrast agent) can be seen in detail; it can be used for diagnosing a variety of medical conditions such as heart or intestinal disease, 或者它也可以用来指导程序性治疗.

Lung Cancer Screening

SampsonRMC's 门诊诊断中心 offers patients with a high risk of developing lung cancer the opportunity to be screened for lung cancer and receive their diagnosis at an early stage, 甚至在症状出现之前.

A low-dose screening computerized tomography (known as CT or CAT) scan of the chest produces detailed images of the lungs and other structures located inside the chest. The low-dose scan exposes patients to less radiation than you would receive from a normal CT scan of the chest. Individuals with high risk for lung cancer should have this screening added to their annual preventive health screenings.

High-Risk Patients

高危患者是指符合以下风险因素的人:

  • 重度吸烟史*
  • 现在或以前的吸烟者  
  • Patients age 50 to 80

*重度吸烟被定义为吸烟史超过20“包年”.  A pack year is the number of years smoked multiplied by the number of packs of cigarettes per day.  For example, an individual that smoked one pack a day for 20 years (1x20=20) or two packs a day for 10 years (2x10=20), 会被定义为重度吸烟者吗.  

早期发现是关键

低剂量的癌症筛查可以让人安心. Screenings, 作为年度预防性健康检查的一部分, allow your provider to see any abnormalities with your lungs before presenting with symptoms, 最常见的是在早期阶段就感染了癌症.

Low-dose scans of the chest for high-risk patients are covered by Medicare and most insurance plans. 建议您向您的保险公司查询保险范围的详细信息. Medicare requires patients to be between the ages of 55 and 77 and will only cover the screening once every 12 months.

如果在我的检查中发现异常怎么办?

Not all abnormalities found during a low-dose cancer screening are diagnosed as early-stage cancer. 如果CT显示异常, 结果将与您的推荐提供者共享,以便进行进一步的随访. 根据它的大小,你的医生可能会推荐你去做CT诊断. This will give your provider more information to determine the appropriate level of care.

门诊诊断中心也提供CT诊断. Our 64-slice CT is the only one in the local area and provides dramatically detailed images of your lungs in just minutes. Having the clearest diagnostic image is important in arming your doctor with the information needed for the early treatment of lung cancer. 

Uses non-invasive imaging technology that produces three dimensional detailed anatomical images. 这项技术使创建非常清晰的3D心血管成为可能, vascular, 以及肌肉骨骼图像.
