MAMMOGRAPHY APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18533113 titled 'MAMMOGRAPHY APPARATUS
The mammography apparatus described in the abstract includes an imaging table that can attachably and detachably mount a scattered ray removal grid to remove scattered rays generated by radiation passing through the breast.
- The imaging table has an opening on either the left or right side for attaching and detaching the scattered ray removal grid.
- The front-rear direction in the imaging table connects the chest wall side to the opposite side, while the left-right direction is orthogonal to the front-rear direction.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in mammography machines to improve image quality by reducing scattered rays. - It can enhance the accuracy of breast cancer detection by providing clearer images.
Problems Solved: - Reduces the interference of scattered rays in mammography images. - Improves the overall quality and accuracy of breast cancer screening.
Benefits: - Enhanced image quality for better diagnosis. - Improved accuracy in detecting breast abnormalities. - Increased efficiency in mammography procedures.
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Mammography Imaging Technology for Enhanced Breast Cancer Screening This technology can be utilized in medical facilities, clinics, and hospitals offering mammography services. It can also be integrated into existing mammography machines to upgrade their capabilities.
Questions about Mammography Apparatus: 1. How does the scattered ray removal grid improve the quality of mammography images? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology for breast cancer screening?
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest advancements in mammography technology and research to ensure the continued improvement of breast cancer screening methods.
Original Abstract Submitted
A mammography apparatus includes an imaging table, in which the imaging table is configured to attachably and detachably mount therein a scattered ray removal grid that removes scattered rays generated by the radiation transmitting through the breast, and in a case in which, in the imaging table, a direction connecting a chest wall side on which a chest wall of the subject is located and a side opposite to the chest wall is defined as a front-rear direction and a direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction is defined as a left-right direction, an opening for attaching and detaching the scattered ray removal grid is provided in the imaging table on at least any one of a left side surface or a right side surface of the imaging table.
