Philips receives FDA clearance to market MicroDose SI Mammography System
By sulthan on Monday, March 4, 2013
Philips has announced FDA clearance of its MicroDose SI full-field digital mammography (FFDM) system. In addition to the capabilities of the original MicroDose approved in 2011, the company touts the SI model’s ability to do single-shot spectroscopy, yet that particular feature is not yet available in the U.S.
The MicroDose device use X-ray photon-counting detectors to perform breast tissue imaging at a considerably lower dose compared to traditional mammography. It is hoped the technology will improve the ability of radiologists to spot tumors within dense breast tissue.

From Philips:
As in existing Philips MicroDose systems, MicroDose SI uses unique digital photon-counting technology, which represents a paradigm shift in mammography by enabling clinicians to conduct exams using low radiation dose without compromising image quality. Philips has further advanced this unique technology with Single-Shot Spectral Imaging, which is built upon the fact that breast density is subject to different tissue types and materials that absorb X-rays at various energies. The technology powering the MicroDose SI uses this fundamental behavior of X-rays, allowing clinicians to see more than just a shadow in mammogram images by separating high and low energy X-ray within one single exposure.
Key advantages of MicroDose SI include:via
- High image quality at low X-ray dose (18 to 50 percent lower radiation dose than other digital mammography systems with an average dose reduction of 40 percent)
- Short exam time – less than 5 minutes including image acquisition
- Patient comfort with anatomically curved and warmed breast support
- Ready for future Single-Shot Spectral Imaging applications

A Glimpse of Reality: David Jay’s SCAR Project
By sulthan on Monday, April 9, 2012
The SCAR Project is a series of large-scale portraits of young breast cancer survivors shot by fashion photographer David Jay. Primarily an awareness raising campaign, The SCAR Project puts a raw, unflinching face on early onset breast cancer while paying tribute to the courage and spirit of so many brave young women.
Dedicated to the more than 10,000 women under the age of 40 who will be diagnosed this year alone, The SCAR Project is an exercise in awareness, hope, reflection and healing. The mission is three-fold: raise public consciousness of early-onset breast cancer, raise funds for breast cancer research/outreach programs and help young survivors see their scars, faces, figures and experiences through a new, honest and ultimately empowering lens.
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in young women ages 15-40. The SCAR Project participants range from ages 18 to 35, and represent this often overlooked group of young women living with breast cancer. They journey from across America – and the world – to be photographed for The SCAR Project. Nearly 100 so far. The youngest being 18 years old.
Although Jay began shooting The SCAR Project primarily as an awareness raising campaign, he was not prepared for something much more immediate . . . and beautiful: “For these young women, having their portrait taken seems to represent their personal victory over this terrifying disease. It helps them reclaim their femininity, their sexuality, identity and power after having been robbed of such an important part of it. Through these simple pictures, they seem to gain some acceptance of what has happened to them and the strength to move forward with pride."

Breast Cancer iPhone App Enlists Hunky Men to Remind Women About Self-Examination
By sulthan on Sunday, September 25, 2011
A breast cancer app for iPhone, as well as Android, in which hunky men remind women to self-examine will be available in October, which is National Breast Cancer Awareness month.
The Canadian charity Rethink Breast Cancer (RBC) has come up with an app called "Your Man Reminder."
Women can choose from six stereotypical male hunks, including the Boy Next Door, the Sports Jock, and the Business Man. A woman's hunk will pop up on her smartphone on a regular basis and remind her to do a self-exam. He will also offer her words of encouragement, such as "Give your breasts some TLC." TLC is breast awareness code for the words touch, look and check. Women can even choose the pose they want their man to make. The app will also offer scheduling options for doctors' appointments and a "signs and symptoms" tab, among other conveniences.
Tracie Snitker, who works for the public relations firm promoting the app, said Your Man Reminder targets young women who give little thought to breast cancer detection. "It's not a lot of fun to remind yourself to do a self exam," Snitker said. "And a busy woman has so many reminders in her phone for all kinds of things. With this app, you can have a cute guy to remind you to do it."
The charity itself is known for doing "provocative" marketing campaigns with "shock value," Snitker said. Previous efforts have urged women to "Save the Boobies!" In honor of its 10th anniversary, the organization will be throwing a BoobyBall next month.
Asked whether the app would offend women, Snitker said: "He's not going to do it for you. It's about touching yourself, about knowing how your breast feels when it's normal. So later if there's a change, you'll know."
"Young women are busy and often need a reminder to show their breasts some TLC," Rethink Breast Cancer executive director M.J. DeCoteau said in a statement: "Being aware of what your breasts regularly look and feel like is the key to early detection and what better way to remind you to check yourself than a friendly nudge from a hot guy."
