Patient's question:
Is infrared breast scanning the same as mammography? What problems can it detect? Can it detect breast cancer?Doctor's answer:
Hello:Infrared Breast Scan: The LX-H 767 TA 1 type computer infrared scanner is used to examine the breast in a dark room. The patient's upper body is exposed, and they sit in a forward-leaning position. The infrared probe is placed on the corresponding area of the patient's breast to perform transillumination at different angles, capturing two-dimensional images. The images are framed on a color monitor screen for computer program processing, followed by analysis to make a diagnosis.
Near-infrared scanning is one of the methods for examining and diagnosing breast diseases, characterized by clear imaging and high sensitivity in detecting lesions. It has functions such as storing case data, retrieving information, and processing images. It is non-invasive and painless, making it easily accepted by patients.
The scanner achieves a diagnostic accuracy rate of 91% for benign tumors and 89% for malignant tumors.
