Breast Clinic
Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is one of the most common types of malignant cancers in women, and early detection of this disease can be achieved through a series of regular screenings.
Signs and Symptoms of Breast Cancer
– Lump detected in the breast
– Nipple sensitivity
– Thickening of the skin on the breast or underarm
Skin irritation or changes such as wrinkling, dimpling, or flaking.
Warmth, redness, and swelling accompanied by rash and a bumpy texture on the breast skin.
Discharges or physical changes (such as nipple retraction, persistent pain, or alterations in the size and shape of the breast).
Individuals who need to exercise greater caution
Women with a family history of breast cancer.
Women who have experienced early menstruation and late menopause.
Women who have experienced their first pregnancy after the age of 30.
Smoking, postmenopausal obesity, and excessive fat consumption are also contributing factors.
Mammography
Mammography is a digital radiographic image of the breast used for the early detection of non-palpable cancers. Mammography can identify slow-growing malignant breast tumors at least two years before they become palpable.
Intervention Clinics
The interventional clinics at pardis noor comprehensive imaging centers utilize advanced equipment and a specialized team to provide minimally invasive medical services with high precision and safety.
The necessity of undergoing a mammography.
Mammography can effectively detect small abnormalities in breast tissue that neither the individual nor the physician can feel during an examination. The first mammogram serves as a baseline image, aiding the radiologist in identifying any changes by comparing it with subsequent mammograms. One of the key findings that radiologists look for in a mammogram is “microcalcifications,” which are tiny calcium deposits appearing as small white spots on the image. In many countries, mammography is routinely used as a screening method for all women.
Digital Mammography and Its Advantages Over Conventional Mammography
– Lower radiation levels used compared to conventional mammography.
The image quality is significantly higher compared to standard mammography.
The ability to digitally magnify the image as needed with high quality and precision.
The ability to record and store digital mammography images on a CD.
Digital images are ready in less than 10 seconds compared to conventional mammography.
Breast Ultrasound:
Women with a family history of breast cancer.
Women who have experienced early menstruation and late menopause.
Women who experience their first pregnancy after the age of 30.
Smoking, postmenopausal obesity, and high fat consumption are also contributing factors.
MRI-guided biopsy
In this method, a sample of breast tissue is removed under MRI guidance. Using MRI, the location of the lesion within the breast tissue and the placement of the biopsy needle for sample collection are determined. The biopsy needle is inserted through the skin into the lesion to extract the tissue sample. This technique is less invasive compared to surgery and, unlike mammography-guided biopsy, does not involve radiation. Additionally, it offers significantly higher accuracy in identifying the malignant area for biopsy. The recovery time for the patient after the biopsy is short, allowing them to quickly return to their daily activities.
Breast MRI (MR Mammography)
MRI mammography is the most accurate and sensitive method for detecting breast tumors, which can be performed with the following facilities:
– Dedicated Breast Coil
– Plotting the curves for washout and washin.
The possibility of evaluating the response to chemotherapy after 1 to 2 treatment sessions.
– Dynamic injection and evaluation of tumor perfusion
– Breast diffusion images
RF.A Breast Masses
It is a minimally invasive and non-surgical technique that has recently gained the attention of physicians for the treatment of breast lesions and certain types of breast cancer. In this method, breast lesions and tumors are destroyed and cauterized in a minimally invasive manner using radiofrequency waves.
Special RF needles (electrodes) are inserted through the skin into the breast lesion, delivering radiofrequency waves to the tumor via these electrodes. The heat generated subsequently destroys the tumor or lesion.

Biopsy under ultrasound guidance
Using this technique, it is possible to extract tissue samples from suspicious breast masses without the need for surgery and examine them for pathological analysis.
