Breast Care Solutions by Siemens offer a comprehensive product spectrum for diagnosis and therapy

Among women, breast cancer is the most common cause of cancer death. Each year nearly 180,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with breast cancer. More than 40,000 a year die from this disease*. These facts stress the importance of a quality-ensured early detection of breast cancer as well as the availability of individual therapies. In response, Siemens Healthcare developed comprehensive Breast Care Solutions for the early detection and treatment of breast cancer. These combine different imaging methods, such as ultrasound, mammography, and magnetic resonance tomography (MRT), which are supplemented by innovative software tools and solutions from lab diagnostics.

This multi-modality approach in breast medicine is increasingly gaining the acceptance of physicians. Imaging methods, such as MRT and Ultrasound, are becoming more and more important. All imaging methods in breast medicine enable comprehensive early detection and after-care. The advantages of the new technologies include improved image quality and optimized workflows that support the physician in his work. In turn more patients can be examined within a shorter period of time. Immuno-diagnostic tests provide information about the course of therapy.
