SureTouch enhances early detection of breast cancer with new technology and expertise, namely the acclaimed SureTouch™ visual mapping system.
The introduction of SureTouch now gives women of all ages the option to have sensitive, accurate, pain-free and radiation-free computerized breast imaging with their own GP or primary healthcare professional. The procedure is non-invasive, does not require compression of the breast tissue, and will not cause any harm to the patient since it does not use radiation to generate a scan.
• FACT: You may be 18 or 80 years old, have dense breast tissue, have had a mastectomy or augmentation (implants), a SureTouch CT Breast Imaging is right for you.
• FACT: Breast cancer does not discriminate as it can occur at any age.
• FACT: Women under the age of 40 get breast cancer.
• FACT: A SureTouch CBI is a painless breast exam.
• FACT: SureTouch is approved by the Australian TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) and US regulatory authorities.
What is safe touch?
The SureTouch Visual Mapping System is a unique digital screening device that assists a physician or other trained healthcare professional in detecting breast cancer in the course of scheduled exams, greatly increasing the chances of a early diagnosis of breast cancer in women.
How does the technology work?
The SureTouch handheld sensor is comprised of a high-resolution array of many small, proprietary pressure-sensitive elements. These elements are an integral part of the technology that converts the measurement of tissue elasticity into an electronic signal, which is then digitized and analyzed by a computer.
Why should women have a computerized breast imaging?
Currently, women generally rely on self-examination or a similar manual examination by their primary care physician or gynecologist to identify breast lesions. CT images of the breast that are easy to receive and accurately displayed are beneficial to all women, except those between the ages of 25 and 40, who, unless we detect a concern, would probably not seek a mammogram. With breast cancer, early detection can mark the difference between life and death.
Is the SureTouch exam accurate and reliable?
A two-year NIH-funded study of SureTouch and its surprising results in identifying and mapping breast lesions have been documented by the American Journal of Surgical Procedure and by the researchers involved in the project. Eight clinical studies conducted in various countries show that Suretouch is more accurate than conventional breast exams. In countries like India and China, Suretouch is used for breast screening in the general population. Suretouch can even detect breast lesions after a mastectomy, whereas mammograms cannot detect when there is no breast tissue.
Can SureTouch be used as a diagnostic device?
It is not a diagnostic device. Its purpose is to visualize the sense of touch and generate an objective, reliable, and consistent printed report for patient information, a second formatted report for review by the treating physician, and a digital document file that can be attached to the patient’s electronic account. . Medical record viewable by mammographers and attending breast surgeons.
