Product catalog summary
Introduction to Breast CT Technology
Breast CT is presented as a revolutionary imaging modality that offers comprehensive 3D visualization of breast masses, calcifications, and architectural distortions with contrast enhancement. It is highlighted as a superior alternative to traditional mammography, tomosynthesis, and MRI due to its ability to provide high-resolution images without the need for breast compression.

Patient Comfort and Experience
The document emphasizes the comfort and speed of breast CT, noting that it eliminates the need for breast compression, which is a significant advantage for patients. The procedure is quick, taking only 7 to 12 seconds for a complete scan, and captures up to 2,000 projections during a 360° rotation. This has led to high patient satisfaction, with many women preferring breast CT over other modalities due to reduced anxiety and discomfort.

Technical Advantages
Breast CT offers a high resolution of 0.15 mm, which is significantly sharper than conventional MRI images. It provides real 3D images at radiation doses comparable to mammography, reducing the number of recalls due to superimposed structures. The technology is particularly beneficial for visualizing microcalcifications and mass lesions, which are crucial for diagnosing conditions like DCIS.

Clinical Adoption and Recommendations
The document reports widespread clinical adoption and positive feedback from radiologists and gynecologists. Breast CT is seen as an ideal solution for women with pressure-sensitive breast tissue and those who have previously avoided mammography due to discomfort. It is recommended as a valuable tool for breast cancer screening, capable of detecting larger tumors and multifocal cancers that might otherwise go undiagnosed.

Conclusion
Overall, breast CT is portrayed as a groundbreaking innovation in breast imaging, combining the strengths of existing modalities while addressing their limitations. It is positioned as a patient-friendly, high-resolution, and efficient diagnostic tool that enhances the detection and understanding of breast lesions.

Testimonials from radiologists-1

Dr. Karsten Ridder Specialist in Radiology and Site Manager Dortmund-Innenstadt at MVZ Prof. Dr. Uhlenbrock und Partner, Dortmund, Germany “For me it comes very close to a “onestop shop”. In a single examination breast CT provides more reliable data and information than any other modality on the market.” 1 “... It is the only modality which combines 3D visualization of masses, calcifications, architectural distortions and contrast-enhancement in one go…” 1 “... At least 99% of the women we have examined in the system are absolutely happy with it because of its speed and lack of compression. Most of them have already had experiences of the other modalities so their choice of the breast CT is deliberate and informed.” 1 „The examination is much more comfortable and relaxing for patients, as we don’t need to compress the breast. It’s also very quick: during one full 360° rotation around the breast, up to 2,000 projections are captured, and a complete scan takes only 7 to 12 seconds. The extremely high resolution of 0.15 mm is also a great advantage for us radiologists. That’s seven times sharper than conventional MRI images.“ 2 „I need 3 minutes to have a decent look at the mamma CT“ 3 „Mamma CT positioning succeeds perfectly after two days, unlike mammography, where the radiology technicians still struggle after years.” 3 „The images from the breast CT are three-dimensional. In the isotropic matrix, all three planes are visible There’s nowhere for a tumor to hide. 4 “Around 10% of affected women do not want standard mammography. We conduct breast cancer screenings for one million women every year. This is an important and valuable examination that must be made available.” 4 Prof. Dr. med. Evelyn Wenkel Specialist in Diagnostic Radiology and Chair of the Breast Imaging Working Group of the German Radiological Society, Germany “Compared to tomosynthesis, CT is a truly 3D imaging technique. Gynecologists also appreciate the diagnostic results of breast CT, as it helps them better visualize the findings. When the extent of the finding is shown on the monitor, it becomes much easier for them to understand where the lesion is located within the uncompressed breast.” 6 “Breast CT has a much higher resolution overall compared to MRI. It is the only three-dimensional method that allows me to visualize both microcalcifications and mass lesions.” 7 Prof. Dr. Dr. med. Andreas Boss Chief Physician of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine at GZO AG Spital Wetzikon; former Senior Physician of Radiology at University Hospital Zürich, Switzerland “With high resolution, real 3D images at dose levels comparable to mammography, us radiologists clearly benefit from breast CT as well. The multiplanar pictures decrease the number of recalls caused by superimposed structures. 5 “…I cannot emphasize enough the importance of this method being completely compression-free. Some women had missed their breast checks for years because they feared compression. Breast CT really solves their dilemma...” 5 Prof. Dr. Dr. med. Martin Wasser Radiologist, Leiden University Medical Centre, the Netherlands “The scanner (Breast CT) offers several advantages over traditional mammography, tomosynthesis, and MRI. Since breast CT does not require compression, many women who previously declined screening are now participating, making it possible to detect larger tumors or multifocal cancers that may have otherwise gone undiagnosed.” 8 AB-CT – Advanced Breast-CT GmbH | Henkestraße

Thinking Women! “Breast CT combines the strengths of mammography or tomosynthesis and MRI: it provides 3D imaging similar to MRI, delivers high-resolution images that clearly depict the tumor’s morphology, and can reveal calcifications that are important indicators for DCIS.” 8 “In our comparison study between MRI and breast CT, preliminary results reveal that most women favor breast CT, citing the shorter duration and lower anxiety levels compared to MRI.” 8 Dr. Andreas Kämena Radiologist and Partner at DIE RADIOLOGEN, Regensburg, Germany “The spiral breast CT system nu:view is a world-first...
