BREAST ASSESSMENT
*annually after the age of 40 years
*this aids in early detection and diagnosis of malignant or benign disease
*rarely used because of MRI
*digital and 3d– mas gamit
*contrast
-involves injection of less than 1 mL of radiopaque material
-performed to evaluate an abnormality within the duct when the patient has bloody nipple discharge on expression
*don’t wear deodorant, perfume or powder
-may substance such as talc that interfere with the procedure
-talc can be seen as “dust” through xray
*bukol ‘yong hinahanap
Mammography
BREAST ASSESSMENT
*used as a diagnostic adjunct to mammogram to differentiate fluid-filled cyst from other type of lesion
*cannot rule out malignant lesions
*microcalcifications, which are detectable on mammography. can’t be identified on ultrasonography
*use high frequency sound waves to produce visual pictures
*omit deodorants with aluminum hydroxide or body talc the day of test to avoid artifacts on x-ray film
Ultrasonography
BREAST ASSESSMENT
*highly sensitive test that has become a useful diagnostic adjunct to mammography
* useful for evaluation of contralateral disease, invasive lobular carcinoma, and assessment of chemotherapeutic response
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Surgical Biopsy
*standard procedure for complete pathologic assessment of a palpable mass
*the entire mass, plus a margin of surrounding tissue, is removed
Excisional Biopsy
Surgical Biopsy
*removes a portion of a mass
*done to confirm the diagnosis
*will aid in determining treatment
Incisional Biopsy
Surgical Biopsy
technique used to locate nonpalpable mass or suspicious calcium deposits detected on mammogram, ultrasound, MRI that require excisional biopsy
Wire Needle Localization
note: dressing covering the incision is usually removed after 48 hours, but the Steri-Strips which are applied directly over the incision should remain in place for approx. 7-10 days until they fall off
