In mammary gland pathology, ultrasound of the mammary glands by tissue elastic method has the effect of supporting the differentiation of benign and malignant tumors, helping to limit unnecessary biomass.
1. What is tissue elastic ultrasound?
Tissue elastic ultrasound is an ultrasound technique that helps doctors assess tissue hardness through tissue elasticity when subjected to a mechanical force. The pathology tissue may be the same response, but there will be different hardness, the malignant the tissues, the more hardness will increase. Therefore, when assessing the hardness of the damaged tissue, it will provide more information about the nature of that tissue.
The method of tissue elasticity by ins working an external force on the lesion to cause such damage deformation is called semi-static elastic forming or variable elasticity. When performing the technique, the ultrasonic person presses the probe with a certain force to act on the damaged tissue.
2. Ultrasound elastic tissue diagnosis of mammary gland disease
2.1. What is tissue elastic ultrasound that diagnoses mammary gland disease?
In mammary gland pathology, ultrasound of the mammary glands by tissue elastic method helps to distinguish benign and malignant tumors, making it possible to limit unnecessary biomass.
In addition, the proportion of women currently suffering from breast cancer is increasing, so the method of ultrasound elastic tissue diagnosis of mammary gland disease helps doctors increase the likelihood of detecting breast cancer on thick breast tissue.
The method of tissue elasticity that diagnoses mammary gland disease has a simple procedure; Fast ultrasonic time and high precision results, reasonable price for all objects.
2.2. Steps to ultrasound elastic tissue diagnosis of mammary gland disease
Steps to perform tissue elastic ultrasound to diagnose mammary gland disease include:
● Step 1: The patient is in the back position.
● Step 2: The person performing the ultrasound holds the probe in a fore hand.
● Step 3: When performing an ultrasound of the mammary gland, the person who performs the ultrasound presses the probe with a certain force to act on the damaged tissue. Then use a 50Hz frequency ultrasonic wave beam on the lesion tissue to identify the damaged tissue.
● Step 4: The technique takes about 5 to 10 minutes. The ultrasonic probe will receive and encode the waves by color to help the doctor quandize the hardness of the tissue.
At Share99 International Health Hub, there is a Breast Cancer Screening Package to help detect diseases early: breast cancer even if there are no symptoms.
Breast cancer screening package at Share99 is for subjects:
- Female customers, over 40 years old.
- Customers in need can screen for breast cancer
- Customers are at increased risk for cancer – especially family history customers with breast cancer.
- Women of reproduction age, pre-menopause and menopause.
- Women are having suspected symptoms of breast cancer such as: pain in the breast, lumps in the breast,…
