New mammography technology in the Hietzing Clinic: Early breast cancer identification

In the Hietzing clinic, a pioneering new device for mammography was introduced, which is intended to significantly improve the diagnosis of breast cancer. This innovative method, known as mammography with Tomosynthesis, enables more precise detection and thus contributes to early intervention in one of the most common cancer in women.

The Breast Health Center of the Hietzing Clinic was certified in 2010 as the first breast center in the Vienna Health Association (WIGEV) and has since fulfilled internationally recognized medical standards. The latest diagnostic methods were recently presented, which will now be used. Over 1,000 women and men are examined here every year, with the focus on breast health.

advantages through Tomosynthesis

Tomosynthesis revolutionizes imaging diagnostics because it depicts the breast tissue in many thin layers. This course of recording enables three -dimensional visualization, which makes it easier for doctors to recognize the smallest changes, such as tumors, in good time. Dr. Martina Böck, the medical director of radiological mamma diagnostics, explained that whenever there is a striking finding there is a combined use of ultrasound, MRI and mammography. This can make potential diagnoses more precisely.

Pia Lauermann, radiology technologist, not only not only improving the detection of tissue damage, but also minimizing pressure on the breast tissue during the examination. "The breast tissue is only pressed together as far as it is necessary," she said.

meaning for the patients

The importance of early detection was emphasized by everyone present. Health City Councilor Peter Hacker (SPÖ) emphasized that modern technologies such as mammography with Tomosynthesis play a crucial role in optimizing patients' health. Paul Sevelda, President of the Austrian Cancer Aid, added that the technology used in Hietzing significantly increases the chances of recovery and ultimately saved life.

Michael Binder, medical director of the Wigev, emphasized the high priority that breast health in the entire network. In five out of seven clinics of the Vienna Health Association, there are special breast health centers in which interdisciplinary teams work together to develop tailor -made therapeutic approaches for patients.
