Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate how well women may adopt a Contrast-enhanced Spectral Mammography (CESM) as their yearly breast screening test compared to the standard 2-D or 3-D mammogram.
Increased mammographic density of mammary gland tissues and hyperprolactinaemia are regarded as one of the risk factors for the development of breast cancer in women aged 40 to 52 years, which necessitates closer monitoring of the mammary gland and can be considered as modifiable. The herbal drug Cyclodynone® has a dopaminergic effect on the hypothalamus, which causes its inhibitory effect on the secretion of prolactin. At present, a significant positive clinical and scientific experience has been accumulated in the use of the Cyclodynone® for the treatment of benign breast dysplasias against a background of mild hyperprolactinaemia in women of reproductive age. Demonstration of the positive effect of this drug on the reduction of hyperprolactinemia, mammographic density of MF, evaluation on the scale BI-RADS would justify its application for the modification of this risk factor in women aged 40 to 52 years.
Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women worldwide. The cause of developing BC is currently unknown. However, there are several risk factors, such as volumetric breast density (VBD), which have been proved to have a relationship with BC. The assessment of breast density is typically performed subjectively using the 4-classes density classification described by American College of Radiology. However, in the last years, automated breast density software tools have been developed (e.g. Volpara, Quantra). In this work, VBD measurements from VolparaTM (v. 1.5.4.0) will be compared between Full-Field Digital Mammography (FFDM) and Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) of the same pacient ('combo mode'). Images will be acquired in a Hologic Selenia Dimensions, the most common FFDM/DTB system, where image resolution is different for FFDM (70 um) and DBT (140 um). This study (1) evaluates the consistency between Volpara's breast density measurements and spatial distribution for the two imaging techniques (FFDM and DBT) in a Hologic Selenia Dimensions, and (2) compares VDB measurements with other similar tool (Quantra) and radiologists breast density manual classification.
