Dedicated breast PET scanner: early detection & treatmentFull-body Cancer Screening for Women

This course builds on the Full-body Cancer Screening,
targeting cancer unique to women.

Cancer is one of the most deadly diseases known to humankind. Research suggests 9% of women will develop breast cancer at some point in their lifetime. However, with early detection and modern therapy, treatment, breast cancer has become a curable disease. Screenings for healthy asymptomatic patients can discover malignant tumors before they have a chance to become lethal.

This course builds on the foundation of the standard Full-body Cancer Screening course by adding the powerful new Elmammo dedicated breast PET scanner. Combined with the PET/CT, MRI and more, this course checks for a wide variety of malignancies at once.

Examination Process

Dedicated breast PET scannerElmammo

Mammary gland imaging in high definition

The Elmammo breast PET scanner was designed from the woman's perspective with the intention of making painful mammograms a thing of the past. Our hospital is the first hospital in the world to introduce this new technology to clinical usage.

Natural breast position = clear image quality

The scan is taken with the patient lying in the prone position. The breasts are allowed to hang naturally in imaging gantry. No more painful compression!

Circular configuration tomography detectors

Like a typical PET scanner, the detectors which are arranged in a circular formation. This makes it possible to capture a 3D image. Furthermore, due to the close proximity of the scanners to the breast, a clearer image can be taken with less gamma-ray exposure than a full-body scan.

High definition 3D imaging

Boasting smaller detector elements than a typical full-body PET scanner - the smallest in the world (as of 2015) - the Elmammo captures HD images of even the tiniest breast cancer.

Featuring DOI* optimized for breast imaging

The Elmammo is the first clinical diagnostic scanner in the world to feature DOI technology. Combined with the close proximity of the detectors to the breast tissue, an unprecedented level of image quality is obtained.

*About DOI (depth of interaction): the elements can detect and differentiate the depth of the gamma ray interactions, producing a higher definition image.
