In X- ray imaging, the “light” used to gain the image is the X- ray itself, which is ionizing radiation. No other facility in this area can provide 3D tomography with lower radiation dose.Ī : When you take a picture with a smartphone camera, the light that comes in is natural and free, and you can take as many shots as desired. Bridgeway was the first in the country and currently is the only dedicated outpatient imaging center in the region to provide the new GE low radiation dose 3D breast tomography. How does Bridgeway’s Low Dose Tomography differ from others?Ī. I have seen other centers state that they offer Low Dose Breast Tomography. At Bridgeway Diagnostics our new GE equipment allows us to provide precision imaging at the lowest radiation dose possible. The exam provides digital images of the breast, which are viewed on a specialized monitor. The average acquisition takes less than ten seconds and is made possible because of the technology’s light- weight and a sophisticated, steady rotating tube- arm. It involves stopping at each position where an image is taken, and unlike the continuous sweep, it helps ensure that no movement alters the image or produces blurring. SenoClaire works by using a low- dose, short X- ray sweep around a breast in a nine exposure “step- and- shoot” method. SenoClaire can be used for the same clinical applications as traditional mammography for screening mammography. SenoClaire is indicated for the acquisition of 2D images (traditional mammography) and also for the acquisition of multiple projection views intended to produce 3D DBT images suitable for screening and diagnosis of breast cancer. SenoClaire helps clinicians see breast tissue in 3D, without needing to increase the dose of X- rays the patient receives. Bridgeway was the first in the country to purchase GE’s industry leading equipment SenoClaire*, making us the only imaging center in the area to be able to provide you with advanced 3- D breast tomography at the lowest dose of radiation possible. Bridgeway is the only imaging center in the region that can provide this technology without needing to increase the amount of X- rays or radiation which is used in standard 2D mammography imaging. 3D Low Radiation Dose Breast Tomography is used in conjunction with your mammogram to provide your physician with the ability to see breast tissue in three- dimensions.
