Breast Tomosynthesis

Breast Tomosynthesis

Currently at the CISSS de l’Outaouais, breast cancer screening and diagnosis rely on a two-dimensional radiological examination technique known as mammography. These past few years, a new technology called breast tomosynthesis has become available. In tomosynthesis, a mobile X-ray tube is used to take a series of pictures and generate a three-dimensional image of the mammary gland.

In particular, this new method would give us the capacity for more thorough examinations of at-risk women, as well as those with denser breasts. Currently, CISSS establishments in the Outaouais region only have access to a limited number of tomosynthesis units.

To remedy this, we would like to acquire an additional unit for the Gatineau Hospital and another for the Hull Hospital.

These new devices would:

  • Increase accessibility for Outaouais patients;
  • Reduce breast examination waiting times;
  • Facilitate detection of breast cancer thanks to 3D images;
  • Decrease call backs caused by false positive results, which require additional tests;
  • Minimize the psychological impact linked to additional tests for low-risk patients.
