Hospital da Luz Torres de Lisboa has available a mammography machine with high definition tomosynthesis technology, that allows more rigorous mammograms and more adjusted to each patient, which are essential factors to the diagnosis of breast cancer. The equipment now installed, combined with a medical and technical highly differentiated and experienced team, allows the performance of high-quality diagnostic exams. Breast tomosynthesis – also known as 3D mammography – is a state-of-the-art technology, that combines tomosynthesis and mammography, thus widening the amount of information gathered, contributing to an earlier diagnosis of breast cancer, therefore, a better prognosis of the disease. Provides excellent quality 3D image, to view all anatomic details even of the smallest lesions; Allows to perform a routine mammography with lower doses of radiation (a reduction of almost 30%, minimizing the exposure to X-rays without compromising the quality of image), in a fast and comfortable way; Allows the radiologist to make a more precise and effective diagnosis. Breast cancer is the most frequent malignant tumor in women in Portugal – over 4.000 cases each year –, but it is curable in over two thirds of cases, when early detected. Mammography is, therefore, one of the most effective tools at the level of prevention. Schedule your appointments at MY LUZ or at hospitaldaluz.pt/torres-de-lisboa/en
