Trivitron Healthcare in association with Baptist Hospital has introduced the 3D Tomosynthesis and Stereotactic guided Vacuum assisted Biopsy system which enables early detection of breast cancer.

3D Tomosynthesis is an advanced technology which takes less than 4 seconds to scan any abnormality in the breast. Studies have shown that the chances for successful treatment are nearly 100 per cent if breast cancer is detected early. Speaking on the occasion, Mayor R Sampath Raj said, "My hearty congratulations to Bangalore Baptist Hospital for bringing first of its kind advanced 3D Digital Mammography technology to Bangalore.

Across the world, breast cancer is the No.1 cause of cancer death in women. Early detection of breast cancer is the key to save lives. My humble request to all women above 40 years is to get their annual mammogram screening done as this will help them to detect breast cancer at an early stage."

Dr Naveen Thomas Director, Baptist Hospital said, "The advanced 3D Tomosynthesis technology removes the overlapping structures and increases the lesion visibility allowing the clinicians to pick up cancer at a very early stage. The entire procedure is painless and improves the overall patient care."

Mr M Brahadeesh, President - Imaging, Trivitron Healthcare said, "Selenia Dimensions with 3D Tomosynthesis installed today is the most advanced 3D Digital Mammography equipment available in Karnataka as of now. The time taken for a Tomosynthesis scan will be less than 4 Seconds."
