The present paper focuses on electrical impedance scanning. The basic science behind the new modality, measurements of breast tissue impedance in vivo and in vitro, and the studies performed with a newly available commercial machine are discussed. Electrical impedance scanning has been generating interest for several reasons, including comfort to the patient, the relatively low cost, and studies suggest that it may be effective in detecting disease in mammographically dense breasts.
本文聚焦于电阻抗扫描。讨论了这种新方法背后的基础科学、体内和体外乳腺组织阻抗的测量,以及使用一台新上市的商用仪器所进行的研究。电阻抗扫描引发关注有几个原因,包括对患者来说较为舒适、成本相对较低,而且研究表明它可能在检测乳腺钼靶检查显示为致密型乳腺的疾病方面有效。
