Yintoni i-thermography?

I-Thermography luvavanyo olusebenzisa ikhamera ye-infrared ukufumana iipateni zobushushu kunye nokuhamba kwegazi kwizicubu zomzimba.

I-digital infrared thermal imaging (DITI) luhlobo lwe-thermography esetyenziselwa ukufumanisa umhlaza webele. I-DITI ityhila umahluko wobushushu kumphezulu wamabele ukuxilonga umhlaza webele.

Uluvo oluvela kolu vavanyo kukuba, njengoko iiseli zomhlaza zanda, zifuna igazi elinentabalala yeoksijini ukuze zikhule. Xa ukuhamba kwegazi kwi-tumor kwanda, iqondo lokujikeleza elijikelezayo liphuma.

Enye inzuzo kukuba i-thermography ayinikezeli imitha efana ne-mammography, esebenzisa i-X-ray ye-low-dose ukuthatha imifanekiso ngaphakathi kwamabele. Nangona kunjalo, i-thermography njenge-mammography ekufumaneni umhlaza webele.

Qhubeka ufunda ukuze ufunde ngakumbi malunga nokuba le nkqubo igcina njani ngokuchasene ne-mammography, xa kunokuba luncedo, kwaye ulindele ntoni kule nkqubo.

Ngaba yenye indlela yokwenza imammogram?

I-Thermografi sele ikho ukusukela ngeye-1950s. Kuqala kubambe umdla woluntu lwezonyango njengesixhobo sokuvavanya. Kodwa ngo-1970, uphando olubizwa ngokuba yiProjekti yokuBoniswa kweCancer Breast yafumanisa ukuba i-thermography yayingaphantsi kakhulu kunokuba i-mammography ekufumaneni umhlaza, kwaye umdla kuwo wancipha.

I-Thermography ayithathwa njengenye indlela yokwenza i-mammography. Izifundo zamva kwexesha ziye zafumanisa ukuba ayisiyonto inomdla ekuthatheni umhlaza wamabele. Ikwanayo nenqanaba eliphezulu lobuxoki, nto leyo ethetha ukuba ngamanye amaxesha "ifumana" iiseli ezinomhlaza xa kungekho nanye.

Kwaye kwabasetyhini abaye bafumanisa ukuba banomdlavuza, uvavanyo alusebenzi ekuqinisekiseni ezi ziphumo. Kwabafazi abangaphezulu kwe-10,000, phantse iipesenti ezingama-72 zabo bavelise umhlaza wamabele babeneziphumo eziqhelekileyo zethemogram.

Ingxaki enye kolu vavanyo kukuba inengxaki yokwahlula oonobangela bokunyuka kobushushu. Nangona iindawo zobushushu ebeleni zinokubonisa umhlaza webele, zinokubonisa nezifo ezingafakwanga ngumhlaza njengesifo sokukrala kwebele.

Imammografi inokuba neziphumo ezibubuxoki, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha inokuphoswa ngumhlaza webele. Ukanti iseyeyokuchonga umhlaza wamabele kwangoko.

Ngubani omele afumane ithemogram?

I-Thermography ikhuthazwe njengovavanyo olusebenzayo lokuvavanywa kwabasetyhini abangaphantsi kweminyaka engama-50 kunye nabo banamabele ashinyeneyo. kula maqela mabini.

Kodwa ngenxa yokuba i-thermography ayilunganga kakhulu ekukhetheni umhlaza webele ngokwawo, akufuneki uyisebenzise njengendawo yokubambela imammography. I-FDA yokuba abasetyhini basebenzise kuphela i-thermography njengokongeza kwiimammograms zokufumanisa umhlaza wamabele.

Yintoni onokuyilindela ngexesha lenkqubo

Unokucelwa ukuba ugweme ukunxiba i-deodorant ngomhla woviwo.

Uya kuqala ukhulule esinqeni, ukuze umzimba wakho ube nokuqhelana nobushushu begumbi. Emva koko uya kuma phambi kwenkqubo yokucinga. Ingcali iya kuthatha uthotho lwemifanekiso emithandathu-kubandakanya umphambili kunye necala lokujonga-amabele akho. Lonke uvavanyo luthatha malunga nemizuzu engama-30.

Ugqirha wakho uza kuhlalutya imifanekiso, kwaye uya kufumana iziphumo kwiintsuku nje ezimbalwa.

Iziphumo ebezingalindelekanga ezinokubakho kunye nemingcipheko

I-Thermography luvavanyo olungafunekiyo olusebenzisa ikhamera ukuthatha imifanekiso yamabele akho. Akukho kuvezwa kwemitha, akukho kuxinana kwamabele akho, kwaye kunxulunyaniswa novavanyo.

Nangona i-thermography ikhuselekile, abukho bungqina bokuba iyasebenza. Uvavanyo lunezinga eliphezulu lobuxoki, nto leyo ethetha ukuba ngamanye amaxesha ifumana umhlaza xa kungekho namnye. Kukwafanelekile ukuba uqaphele ukuba uvavanyo alunantlonelo njengemammography ekufumaneni umhlaza webele kwangoko.

Ingaba ibiza malini?

Iindleko zethemogram yesifuba zinokwahluka ngokwamaziko. Ixabiso eliphakathi lijikeleze i- $ 150 ukuya kwi-200 yeedola.

I-Medicare ayihlawuli iindleko ze-thermography. Ezinye izicwangciso zeinshurensi yezempilo yabucala inokugubungela inxenye okanye zonke iindleko.

Thetha nogqirha wakho

Thetha nogqirha wakho malunga nomngcipheko womhlaza webele kunye nokukhetha kwakho ukuhlolwa.

Imibutho efana neKholeji yaseMelika yoGqirha (i-ACP), iAmerican Cancer Society (ACS), kunye ne-US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) nganye inezikhokelo zayo zokuhlola. Bonke bacebisa i-mammography yokufumana umhlaza webele kumanqanaba ayo okuqala.

I-mammogram iseseyona ndlela isebenzayo yokufumana umhlaza wamabele kwangoko. Nangona ii-mammograms zikubeka esichengeni semitha encinci yemitha, izibonelelo zokufumana umhlaza wamabele zingaphezulu komngcipheko wokuvezwa. Kwaye igcisa lakho liya kwenza konke okusemandleni ukunciphisa ukubonakaliswa kwemitha ngexesha lovavanyo.

Ngokuxhomekeke kumngcipheko wakho womhlaza wesifuba, ugqirha wakho unokucebisa ukuba ungeze olunye uvavanyo olunjenge-ultrasound, imaging resonance imaging (MRI), okanye i-thermography.

Ukuba unamabele aminyene, unokufuna ukuqaphela ukwahluka okutsha kwe-mammogram, ebizwa ngokuba yi-3-D mammography okanye i-tomosynthesis. Olu vavanyo lwenza imifanekiso ibe ngamacwecwe amancinci, inike i-radiologist umbono ongcono wako nakuphi na ukukhula okungaqhelekanga emabeleni akho. Izifundo zifumanisa ukuba ii-mammograms ezi-3-D zichanekile ngakumbi ekufumaneni umhlaza kunakwimilinganiselo emiselweyo yesi-2-D. Banciphisile kwiziphumo ezibubuxoki.

Imibuzo yokubuza ugqirha wakho

Xa uthatha isigqibo malunga nendlela yokuvavanywa komhlaza wamabele, buza ugqirha wakho le mibuzo:

• Ngaba ndisemngciphekweni omkhulu womhlaza wamabele?
• Ndifanele ndifumane i-mammogram?
• Ndiqala nini ukufumana iimammograms?
• Ndidinga kangaphi ukufumana ii-mammograms?
• Ngaba i-mammogram ye-3-D iya kuwanyusa amathuba am okuchongwa kwangoko?
• Zithini iingozi ezinokubakho kolu vavanyo?
• Kwenzeka ntoni ukuba ndifumene iziphumo ezingezizo?
• Ngaba ndifuna i-thermography okanye ezinye iimvavanyo ezongezelelweyo ukukhusela umdlavuza webele?
• Zithini izibonelelo kunye nomngcipheko wokongeza ezi mvavanyo?
