Catalog excerpts

Facebook Channel, reaction on a social media campaign introducing nu:view Breast CT. Dear Mr. Karl Lauterbach, you are our Minister of Health. How about including this kind of examination with this device in the standard health insurance coverage to spare us women the painful breast cancer screenings? That would really be something! As it is now, we unfortunately can’t afford it. Maybe he’ll read this -S.F. (translated from German) It’s really unpleasant when your breast gets, frankly speaking, squashed flat. It hurts like hell. This here is genius. Would be great if it were available everywhere. -S.K. (translated from German) This device detected a second case of breast cancer in me. Also, I always had terrible pain with regular mammograms. -I.B. (translated from German) Such a device would be a blessing! But we don’t have it around here yet. At least not that I know of! -C.F. (translated from German) Hopefully this becomes the standard everywhere. fantastic to find out that the Mamma CT gives much more reliable results – completely without pain! I decided to go with the Mamma CT and received the results of this painfree examination on the same day. Luckily, there were no problems, no calcifications, no inflammations. I’m glad I chose the Mamma CT and I recommend it to anyone facing a breast examination. For me, never again anything else!” -S.M. (translated from German) Never again mammography. It’s about time something better and pain-free comes to the market. -B.M. (translated from German) Review from our Dutch partner who went to Dr. Ridder in 2022 I had never had a mammogram before, and after hearing all the horrible experiences from those around me, I kept postponing my breast cancer screening for a long time. Until the moment I learned about the Mamma CT and started looking into it. I had many questions, like about pain, duration, and the reliability of the examination. And I was very surprised -I.V. (translated from Dutch) from a woman who went to Dr. Ridder with I.V. in 2022 I came across a post about Mamma CT on LinkedIn, and since I had already undergone two mammograms, which I found very painful, this seemed like the solution for me. As it turned out, there was no possibility to have an examination with the Mamma CT in the Netherlands. Through a friend who had experienced Mamma CT herself, I scheduled an appointment for a Mamma CT in Dortmund with Dr. med. Karsten Ridder. That was a revelation for me; the examination was completely pain-free! Moreover, I received the results on the same day and was able to see the images from my own examination.

This is a great solution. I won‘t benefit anymore due to my age, but hopefully my granddaughter will be spared the painful examinations. Thinking Women! were thorough and very informative. Fortunately, everything was fine in my case. I will definitely go again in 2 years and have another Mamma CT done. -D.M. (translated from German) this method will soon replace the crushing plates. For the screening, they may be able to do with less data. Go go go LUMC -R.V. (translated from Dutch) -M.
