Breast CT radiation dose - photon counting

Photon-counting spiral breast CT: dose-efficient 3D imaging

Breast CT radiation dose - photon counting

nu:view breast CT allows for high-resolution 3D imaging without breast compression, combining cutting-edge imaging capabilities with patient experience. But what about the radiation dose?

In a retrospective study with 1657 breast CT examinations (829 patients), it was shown that radiation exposure of an examination using spiral breast CT equipped with a photon-counting detector [nu:view system] was lower than in diagnostic mammography and cone-beam breast CT. While other dose studies only examine phantoms, this is the first patient-specific dose study using real breast CT patient data from a large patient cohort.

While other dose studies only examine phantoms, this is the first patient-specific dose study using real breast CT patient data from a large patient cohort.

After a dedicated breast tissue segmentation, a Monte Carlo simulation for dose estimation was performed and mathematical models which allow for an estimation of the dose based on morphological features were applied. Breast length was found to be an easy-to-use feature, which could be used by clinicians to adjust the scan settings to further minimize dose levels.

Dedicated spiral breast CT with photon-counting technology (“nu:view” system) shows to be “a promising new breast imaging modality for several reasons”, finds a team of radiology scientists at the University Hospital Erlangen, Germany.

Summarising on previously published scientific investigations and their own 3-year clinical experience with the system, the concepts of spiral breast CT and potential implications for patient care are outlined. According to the authors, two main application areas for spiral breast CT are emerging:

  • Advanced diagnostics: Contrast-enhanced spiral breast CT can provide functional information and may become an alternative to breast MRI in certain clinical settings, including problem-solving and staging.
  • Reaching out to women: Used without contrast media, spiral breast CT can be considered as an alternative to DBT and might become an alternative to screening mammography in cases where women would otherwise refuse or not be able to undergo breast compression.

Accurate 3D assessment of microcalcifications and non-mass enhancement at high isotropic resolutions are seen as one strength of spiral breast CT, suggesting a “high diagnostic potential for the work-up of DCIS and its benign mimicker.”

Pink October Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Thinking Pink – Thinking Women!

Pink October Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October marks breast cancer awareness month. The annual “pink ribbon” campaign aims to raise public awareness and educate about the cause, detection, and treatment of the disease.

With 2.3 million newly diagnosed cases each year, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed type of cancer in women worldwide (1). While each new case is one too many, timely diagnosis followed up with appropriate treatment have generally shown a good prognosis in many cases. Taking early action can make a vital difference.

At AB-CT we are strongly committed to empower radiologists to diagnose breast cancer with confidence at the earliest possible stage, whilst taking into account the widespread wish of women around the globe for a compression-free examination.

Contact us to learn more. Together we can make a difference.

“In many cases of breast cancer, one could also perform a breast CT examination. It is a very precise modality; the system is very sensitive and you can be highly certain that there aren’t any further findings in the breast.“

What a (science) night! For the first time ever, the University Hospital Erlangen opened their doors to present their breast CT to a broader, non-medical audience during the “Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften”. It was a huge success.

In a series of 30 minutes guided tours, senior radiologist and head of diagnostic and interventional breast diagnostics Prof. Evelyn Wenkel and radiologist Dr. Matthias Wetzl took the groups on an insightful journey through today’s challenges and possibilities of breast cancer diagnostics.

After a brief introduction to breast CT, visitors could try the lying position that patients take during an examination for themselves. The interactive experience was followed by a demonstration of selected clinical cases that showed where and how breast CT is used to help with breast cancer diagnostics.

“’Maybe benign’ doesn’t help the woman,” Dr. Wetzl pointed out. What patients need is a diagnosis that’s as reliable possible, as quick as possible. The high-resolution 3D images are also used to determine the size of a tumour – relevant to make an informed decision whether full breast removal is necessary or if the route for breast-conserving surgical treatment can be taken.

Thank you very much to Prof. Wenkel and Dr. Wetzl for this informative insight behind the scenes, and to all visitors for their interest. We genuinely value such positive feedback.
