Mammogram screening involves two main types of mammograms - screening and diagnostic. Screening mammograms are low-dose x-rays used to detect breast cancer in women without symptoms, while diagnostic mammograms are used when abnormalities are discovered. Mammograms can detect cancer at an earlier stage and improve chances of successful treatment, but they also carry risks of false positives and overdiagnosis. The document provides information about mammogram procedures and the services of one diagnostic center.

Mammography
Mammography is the cornerstone imaging modality for breast cancer screening and diagnosis. It involves two standard views - craniocaudal and mediolateral oblique. Additional spot views may be needed based on findings. Image quality is optimized through use of specific equipment like molybdenum targets, grids, and compression to reduce thickness. Mammography finds masses and suspicious calcifications and uses the BI-RADS assessment system to characterize findings and guide need for biopsy. Regular screening can detect cancers early and improve outcomes.
Arthrograms(3)
This document provides information on arthrograms, including definitions, terminology, procedures, and specifics on contrast arthrography of various joints like the knee, wrist, hip, shoulder, and TMJ. It explains that contrast arthrography involves injecting contrast media into a joint space to examine soft tissues under fluoroscopy. While MRI has replaced many arthrograms due to being noninvasive, contrast arthrography is still used to evaluate certain joints like the knee, wrist, hip and shoulder for conditions like trauma, pain, or prosthesis loosening.
Radiation protection and personnel monitoring devices
This document discusses radiation protection and personnel monitoring devices. It begins with an introduction to radiation and the electromagnetic spectrum. It then covers the effects of radiation, principles of radiation protection including justification of practice, optimization of protection, and dose limits. The document discusses various personnel monitoring devices including film badges, thermoluminescence dosimeters (TLD), and optically stimulated luminescence dosimeters. It provides details on how each device works and their advantages and disadvantages.
Attenuation
The document discusses concepts related to x-ray attenuation including:
1. Attenuation is the reduction in intensity of an x-ray beam as it passes through matter by absorption or deflection of photons.
2. Exponential attenuation occurs when the number of photons decrease by the same percentage with each increment of absorber thickness, as seen with monochromatic radiation.
3. The half value layer is the thickness of absorber needed to reduce the intensity of an x-ray beam by half.
Imaging breast mammogram
This 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.
Oral contrast agents
This document discusses oral contrast agents used in medical imaging of the gastrointestinal tract. It begins with a brief history of contrast media development starting in the late 19th century. It then covers the physiology of contrast agents, how they are administered and excreted from the body. Specific contrast media are examined, including barium sulfate, gastrograffin, and non-ionic contrast. Their ideal properties, manufacture, and adverse effects are summarized. The document concludes by discussing contrast media used for CT imaging of the stomach and small bowel.
Interactions of ultrasound with matter
This document discusses the interaction of ultrasound with matter. It explains that ultrasound reflections, refractions, absorptions, and scatterings are determined by the acoustic properties of tissues. Reflection is the most important interaction for generating ultrasound images. Reflection depends on the acoustic impedance at tissue interfaces, which is determined by density and sound velocity. Differences in acoustic impedance between tissues result in more reflection. Absorption converts ultrasound to heat as it passes through tissues. Scattering results in weaker, diffuse reflections that degrade image quality. Refraction bends ultrasound beams at tissue boundaries based on changes in sound speed. The effects of these interactions are important for ultrasound imaging.
Mammography
Mammography is an x-ray exam used to detect breast cancer. Modern mammography machines use low doses of radiation that are considered safe. Screening mammograms are used to check women without symptoms, while diagnostic mammograms examine potential abnormalities. Mammograms produce images of breast tissue that radiologists analyze for signs of cancer such as masses or microcalcifications. While mammography is an important cancer screening tool, it has limitations like false negatives and overdiagnosis. Newer digital mammography techniques aim to improve cancer detection rates.

Mammography presentation
Digital 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.
CT artifact
Beam hardening artifact occurs when an X-ray beam passes through multiple materials of varying densities within a scan volume. This causes the beam to become harder as lower energy photons are preferentially absorbed, leading to streaks or shading in the reconstructed CT image. Photon starvation is another cause of streak artifacts, occurring when there is insufficient photon flux passing through areas of higher attenuation, such as across the shoulders. Adaptive filtering and modulating tube current based on attenuation can help reduce these artifacts. Ring artifacts from defective detector elements in older CT scanners appear as rings in the reconstructed images.
Sinogram and fistulogram
Here are the answers to your questions:
1. We don't perform sinogram or fistulogram if the patient is having severe pyrexia or localized infection as it may worsen the condition.
2. Thin barium is used in case of suspected TEF as the ionic contrast if inhaled in trachea can cause chemotoxicity i.e. chemopneumonitis/intractable chest infections.
3. No, ionic contrast media should not be given for fistulogram or sinogram as it is irritant and may cause inflammation if extravasated. Only low osmolar non-ionic contrast is used.
4. Generally two images are taken- AP/

Ptc and pbd
Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) and percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) are invasive radiological procedures used to image and drain the biliary tree. PTC involves inserting a needle into the liver under imaging guidance and injecting contrast dye to delineate the biliary anatomy. PTBD places a drainage catheter through the liver and into the blocked bile duct to relieve obstruction. Both procedures require imaging, sterile technique, antibiotics and monitoring for potential complications like bleeding, infection and bile leakage. They are used when less invasive options fail or are contraindicated for evaluating and treating biliary obstruction.
Mammogram Screening
Mammogram screening involves using low-dose x-rays of the breasts to detect breast cancer early. There are two main types of mammograms - screening mammograms which check women without symptoms to detect cancers too small to feel, and diagnostic mammograms which are used when abnormalities are discovered to examine unusual signs or symptoms. While mammogram screening carries small radiation risks, the benefits of early cancer detection far outweigh these risks.

Inovations in breast imaging
Breast imaging has evolved substantially beyond just mammography to include ultrasound, MRI, and breast interventional radiology. These technologies help detect and diagnose breast diseases. Breast tomosynthesis is an advanced form of mammography that creates 3D images and has been shown to improve accuracy and reduce false positives compared to standard mammography. Ultrasound and MRI are also important tools that breast imaging radiologists use to evaluate lesions, with MRI being the most sensitive but also having a high false positive rate. Image-guided breast biopsies now allow radiologists to obtain tissue samples directly rather than just localizing lesions for surgeons.
Cancer Screening Programs Ebru
Cancer screening tests can detect cancers early before symptoms appear. Screening involves tests like mammograms, colonoscopies, and pap tests. While screening has benefits in finding cancers early and improving outcomes, it also has risks. Screening may find slow-growing cancers that would not have harmed the person (overdiagnosis) or return false positive results, leading to unnecessary procedures. Participation in cancer screening varies among groups and is affected by socioeconomic, cultural, and ethical factors. Improving education and addressing barriers can help increase screening rates and ensure it is conducted appropriately.
Final Factsheet
Breast cancer begins in the cells of the breast and affects mostly women. There are several types of treatment available depending on the individual case, including surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, and bone-directed therapy. Symptoms can include a lump in the breast, skin changes, discharge from the nipple, and pain. Mammograms are important for early detection since finding cancer early increases treatment options and survival rates.

Mammography
Mammography is an important tool for early detection of breast cancer. It uses low-dose x-rays of the breast to find cancers too small to be felt. For women over 50, annual mammograms are recommended by leading health groups. Mammography works best with modern equipment that takes specialized images of the compressed breast from different angles. While no test is perfect, mammograms can find 85-90% of cancers when they are still micro in size. Early detection improves survival rates significantly. Men can also develop breast cancer, though it is much rarer, occurring in about 0.22% of cancer cases among males.
Mammography
Mammography uses low-dose x-rays to examine the breast for early cancer detection. It has advanced from film to digital mammography and tomosynthesis, which creates 3D breast images. Computer-aided detection highlights abnormal areas. Screening mammograms aim to detect cancer in asymptomatic women, while diagnostic mammograms investigate symptoms. Benefits include early detection, but limitations include false positives and negatives due to breast density. Yearly mammograms after age 40 are recommended for breast cancer screening. Ultrasound provides localized breast images without radiation but cannot screen whole breasts. MRI is superior for dense breasts but has no radiation risk.

Applying Deep Learning to Transform Breast Cancer Diagnosis
Deep convolutional neural networks can assist pathologists in breast cancer diagnosis by automatically filtering benign tissue biopsies, identifying malignant regions and labeling important cellular features like nuclei for further analysis. Automatic detection of diagnostically relevant regions-of-interest and nuclei segmentation reduces the pathologist’s workload, while ensuring that no critical region is overlooked, rendering breast cancer diagnosis more reliable, efficient and cost-effective.
Staging of cancer
Staging of cancer involves assessing how far a cancer has spread both locally and systemically. It is important for determining prognosis and selecting the most appropriate treatment. There are clinical, pathological, and radiological methods used for staging. Clinically, exam assesses tumor size, mobility, and lymph node involvement. Pathological exam of biopsied tissue confirms cancer diagnosis. Radiological exams like mammography, CT, MRI, PET scans provide additional information on tumor characteristics and metastasis. Together these methods are used to divide cancer into stages to guide management and predict outcomes.
Breast Cancer Detection
Cancer is basically uncontrolled multiplication of cells. Once the cells multiply, they also spread to other areas by means of blood or lymph. Breast is one of the common organs affected by cancer and has gained attention. In breast cancer, there is uncontrolled multiplication of the cells within the breast and this usually manifests as a lump.

mammograph
Mammography is an x-ray procedure used to examine the breasts. It can detect breast cancers early when they are most treatable. During a mammogram, the breast is compressed between plastic plates while low-dose x-rays create images. A radiologist analyzes the images for any abnormalities. Mammography benefits include early cancer detection but risks are low radiation exposure and occasional false positives. Dense breast tissue and implants can limit mammography's effectiveness so additional screening may be needed.
