Can T-scan imaging identify a lesion not visible on the mammogram?

0

Yes. T-scan imaging is a completely different imaging modality and its ability to spot cancers has no connection with the lesion s radiologic visibility. Clinical sources report that approximately 10% of cancers are occult (invisible) on mammography. Other lesions may be visible on a mammogram upon close inspection by a trained radiologist or physician, but very difficult to identify because of a variety of factors, such as density of breast tissue, texture, image artifacts, or film quality. Therefore, additional modalities, such as impedance imaging, can be useful complements in the quest to find breast cancers early and accurately. If the T-scan result is positive, it is recommended that the mammogram be reviewed again or an ultrasound performed.
