This is a, the, the next case, I just have a CC view. I have the, um,
0:05
reconstructed two D mammogram on the left and then, uh,
0:08
the tomosynthesis image on the, the right. And I think this is just a good,
0:12
a good example showing this patient has this, a very dense breast tissue,
0:15
particularly in the kinda central two outer breast. Um,
0:20
but it's hard to see if there's anything in there. I mean,
0:22
I think you can sort of make out that there might be an edge like where my mouse
0:25
is here, but it's very hard to,
0:27
to make out because the death breast tissue is so dense here.
0:31
But let me show you, when I scroll through on her three D mammogram,
0:36
it becomes much more clear that there is a mass in the retro alar breast,
0:42
um, and potentially even multiple MA and in a even multiple masses.
0:45
So I can see this edge here representing one mass.
0:48
There's another one slightly more outer in the breast.
0:53
Um, you know, when you look, go back and look at that two D mammogram.
0:55
I think I can see where those masses are,
0:58
but they're very hidden by the dense breast issue around it.
1:02
And the three D mammogram,
1:03
the tomosynthesis places really allow us to scroll through and,
1:07
and tell for sure that there are some findings in this breast that need to be
1:10
further evaluated. Um, so this patient was, um,
1:15
had an ultrasound done and, and luckily that these represented simple cysts,
1:19
she had several, um,
1:20
simple cysts in that outer retro alar and outer part of the breast,
1:24
which correlated with the mammographic masses.
