Diagnostic Technologies Trying To Meet Mammographic Standards.
2001 JUN 7 - (NewsRx Network) -- Alternative technologies for imaging breast cancer are in various stages of development, but they will be playing only a supporting role to conventional mammography for some time, according to an article in the May 2001 issues of IEEE Spectrum.
Breast cancer remains a leading cause of cancer deaths among women in many parts of the world. In the United States alone, 40 000 women die of the disease each year. But better diagnosis and treatment have managed to push death rates down 2% per year over the past decade. Film-based mammography has had a hand in that decline, notes associate editor of the journal, Samuel K. Moore.
The U.S. Institute of Medicine says that film-based mammography is the standard by which these alternatives must be measured. Because of its success and high spatial and contrast resolution requirements, mammography is a difficult standard to meet. In addition, new technologies must be affordable by those often cash-strapped radiology clinics where they could make a difference.
One technology trying to meet the challenge is digital X-ray mammography. Many X-ray machine makers have digital mammography devices in development, and one has gotten approval for use from the U.S. Food and Drug ...
