Women's health
The health of the woman is at the origin of our history.
At Centro de Diagnóstico Granada we have the teams with the most innovative for the detection of breast cancer and other pathologies of the woman, as mammography 3D digital with tomosintesis, high-definition ultrasound, bone Densitometry, Biopsy, Stereotactic and mri of the breast.
EARLY DETECTION OF BREAST CANCER
Our company was born as Centre for Early Diagnosis of Breast Cancerwith an extensive program of collecting epidemiological data, and of the risks of personal, family and environmental, that are still in force.
Since then it has been especially careful of this pathology, performing and diagnosing more than 80,000 annual mammograms about in our unit of the breast, with a complete process of study:
● Realization of the exploration monographic.
● Realization of ultrasound mammary complementary in the necessary cases.
● Report of radiologic findings in all cases.
● Jacks sample by means of Biopsy in Table Prone Digital.
● Punctures eco tours.
● Placement of harpoons and markers breast.
● Studies Magnetic resonance imaging of Breasts with processing workstation and localization of lesions for biopsy in RM.
● Evaluation and assessment of new technologies.
This preventive function of breast cancer is part of our DNA and more than 35 years of experience and with means of the latest technology we bring it out in the most efficient manner. We have a its own team of Medical Specialists in Radiology experts and with continuous training and Technical Specialists in diagnostic Radiology with a huge preparation and training.
MAMMOGRAPHY AND BREAST ULTRASOUND
We have spent many years working constantly in the early detection of breast cancerby implementing and applying powerful tools for the diagnosis, maintaining the same philosophy with which we start in our beginnings.
We have systems of last generation with automatic adaptation to the breast which enables us to an automatic adjustment of dose, in this way we get avoid repetition and reduce up to 60% of the dose of radiation used in this test.
Our radiologists and technicians have extensive experience and special sensitivity in the care of women who come to our services for diagnosis and prevention.
3D ULTRASOUND AND 4D
The Centro de Diagnóstico Granada features scanners high tech with up to seven probes, three of them in 4D, which allow to obtain three-dimensional images in real-time. Studies are conducted abdomen, pelvis, thyroid, prostate, extremities, skull and hips childin addition obstetric ultrasound 3D and 4D, a technique in which the center was a pioneer in Granada.
The ultrasound three-dimensional offers the possibility of observing the organs from various planes, which improves the detection of pathologies and their relationship with nearby structures. In obstetrics, in addition to the emotional value of seeing the face of the baby, this technique provides detailed information about his internal development and external. If it requires a more in-depth assessment may be supplemented with other tests, such as magnetic resonance imaging.
BONE DENSITOMETRY
The bone densitometry it is a test that measures the mineral density of the bones to detect osteopenia or osteoporosis, pathologies that increase the risk of fractures, especially in women after the menopause. Is done through a system of Densitometry Dual Energy (DEXA), which uses X-rays of high and low energy to differentiate the bone tissue of the soft and accurately calculate the density.
Is recommended annually after the menopause or before in people with risk factors (prolonged inactivity, eating disorders, diseases that affect the bone). It is a safe exploration, with a minimal exposure to radiation, even lower than that of a conventional x-ray.
BIOPSY STEREOTACTIC
Before the suspicion or diagnosis of breast cancer, no palpable, it is necessary to perform a biopsy to obtain a tissue sample from you to confirm the nature of the injury. In the Centro de Diagnóstico Granada it uses the most advanced technology and secure: the vacuum-assisted biopsy (BAV) in table prone. In this procedure, the patient lies face down with the breast suspended through a hole, which allows the medical team to access, with accuracy to the area of interest.
The biopsy is performed with local anesthesia, so ambulatorywithout the need of stitches or hospitalization, and leaves minimal discomfort or scarring. The needle of the vacuum allows you to get several samples with a single insertion, avoiding repetition of punctures and ensuring a complete diagnosis and reliable.
MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING OF THE BREAST
The magnetic resonance imaging of the breast it has been a big step forward in diagnostic imaging. Uses magnetic fields to generate internal signals of the body, captured by antennas special transform that information into images with high precision. In this technique, the breasts are kept in suspension and without compression, which improves the comfort and quality of the study.
Customarily used intravenous contrastbecause the malignant cells capture it with greater intensity, allowing you to identify areas suspicious. The images are processed in workstations advanced, which provide reconstructions three-dimensional and graphics capture detailed, which requires a thorough analysis by the specialist.
The major associations in oncology recommend this exploration in cases of carcinoma in situ, lobular hyperplasia, atypical, mammograms dense, or a personal history of breast cancer. It is also advisable for women with genetic mutations BRCA or inherited syndromes of high-risk (Li-Fraumeni, Cowden, Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba), as well as in patients with high riskaccording to the assessment tools available medical.
