Mammography presentationBala SelvakumarDigital mammography has largely replaced film mammography. Digital mammography provides higher resolution images and allows radiologists to adjust brightness and magnification. Standard views include craniocaudal and mediolateral oblique views of each breast. Digital mammography is more accurate than film for premenopausal women under 50 with dense breasts but film may be slightly better for women over 65 with fatty breasts.
Imaging breast mammogramREKHAKHAREThis document provides information about various breast imaging techniques including mammography. It describes what a mammogram is, the history of mammography, how mammograms are performed, what they can detect like masses and microcalcifications, and how results are categorized using BI-RADS. Other modalities like ultrasound and MRI are also discussed. Limitations of mammography include false negatives, overdiagnosis, and difficulty in dense breasts. Mammogram plans vary depending on a woman's history and any breast surgery or implants. Newer techniques like tomosynthesis aim to improve cancer detection.
มะร็งเต้านมistymydad111. The document discusses breast cancer stages, ranging from carcinoma in situ to stage IV cancer with distant metastases.
2. Diagnostic tests for breast cancer mentioned include mammogram, biopsy, tests for estrogen and progesterone receptors, and MRI.
3. The stages are defined based on tumor size and spread to lymph nodes or distant sites.
Embryology in Qur'anAbdullah The document discusses the history of embryology and what was known about human development at different points in time. It notes that early Greek thinkers like Aristotle had inaccurate ideas, and the microscope had to be improved before the structures like sperm and eggs could be observed. The Quran from the 7th century is then cited containing numerous accurate descriptions of human development that were not discovered scientifically until many centuries later, including developing from a sperm that joins an egg and then progressing through various stages. The document concludes that these Quranic descriptions prove Muhammad must have received this knowledge from God.
Anatomy and staging breast cancerAnil GuptaThis document provides an overview of breast anatomy, risk factors for breast cancer, and common presentations of breast cancer. It describes the structure and vasculature of the breast in detail. The most important risk factors are increasing age, family history and genetic mutations. Most women present with a hard, painless lump in the breast, though some lumps can cause discomfort. Thorough examination of any breast lump is important for early diagnosis.
MammographySumanjali AnjaliThis document provides an overview of mammography presented by Sumanjali N. of Manipal Hospital in Whitefield, Bengaluru. It begins with an introduction to mammography and breast anatomy. It then discusses breast cancer and various imaging modalities used including mammogram, ultrasound, tomosynthesis, PET mammogram, MR mammogram, and thermography. The role of a mammography technologist is outlined. Standard mammographic views and the breast imaging reporting and data system (BI-RADS) for assessing findings are described. Common mammographic artifacts are also reviewed. The presentation concludes by emphasizing the importance of screening mammography in early breast cancer detection and reassurance of patients.
Hand trauma - soft tissue injuries overview ,principles of managementKamil PrasadAbeyratnehand injuries are common. this is to describe basics in soft tissue injuries of the hand with some anatomical description to recapitulate.
BIRADS, Breast Ultrasound, mamographyDr. Mohit GoelThe document discusses BI-RADS, a standardized system for breast imaging reporting and assessment. It provides standardized terminology (descriptors) for mammography, ultrasound, and MRI findings. All breast imaging reports should adhere closely to the BI-RADS lexicon and assessment categories to reduce confusion and facilitate outcome monitoring. The document also discusses different breast tissue compositions, common benign and suspicious findings on mammograms such as asymmetries and calcifications, and how these findings are classified and should be reported.
Mammography physics and techniqueArchana KoshyMammography is the cornerstone of breast imaging and offers the necessary reliability to diagnose curable breast cancers. It involves using low-dose x-rays of the breast to detect tumors that are too small to feel. Digital mammography offers superior contrast resolution in dense breasts compared to conventional mammography but has lower spatial resolution, potentially missing some lesions. Mammography equipment includes an x-ray tube, compression device, and digital detectors to capture and process images, allowing diagnosis according to the BI-RADS assessment categories.
