Kuyini i-thermography?

I-Thermography isivivinyo esisebenzisa ikhamera ye-infrared ukuthola amaphethini wokushisa nokugeleza kwegazi ezicutshini zomzimba.

I-Digital infrared thermal imaging (i-DITI) uhlobo lwe-thermography esetshenziselwa ukuxilonga umdlavuza webele. I-DITI iveza ukwehluka kwezinga lokushisa ebusweni bamabele ukuthola umdlavuza webele.

Umqondo walokhu kuhlolwa ukuthi, njengoba amangqamuzana omdlavuza anda, adinga igazi eliningi elicebile oksijini ukuze likhule. Lapho ukugeleza kwegazi kuya ku-tumor kwanda, izinga lokushisa elizungezile liyakhuphuka.

Enye inzuzo ukuthi i-thermography ayikhiphi imisebe efana ne-mammography, esebenzisa i-X-ray enomthamo ophansi ukuthatha izithombe ngaphakathi kwamabele. Kodwa-ke, i-thermography njenge-mammography ekutholeni umdlavuza webele.

Qhubeka ufunda ukuze ufunde kabanzi mayelana nokuthi le nqubo ihlangana kanjani ne-mammography, ukuthi ingasiza nini, nokuthi yini ongayilindela kule nqubo.

Ingabe kungenye indlela ye-mammogram?

I-Thermography ibilokhu ikhona kusukela ngawo-1950. Kuqale kwabamba intshisekelo yomphakathi wezokwelapha njengethuluzi lokuhlola elingahle libe khona. Kodwa ngawo-1970, ucwaningo olubizwa ngeBreast Cancer Detection Demonstration Project lwathola ukuthi i-thermography yayingazweli kakhulu kune-mammography ekuthatheni umdlavuza, futhi nentshisekelo kuwo yehla.

I-Thermography ayithathwa njengenye indlela yokwenza i-mammography. Ucwaningo lwakamuva luthole ukuthi aluzweli kakhulu ekuthatheni umdlavuza webele. Futhi inesilinganiso esiphakeme sokuthola amanga, okusho ukuthi kwesinye isikhathi "ithola" amangqamuzana anomdlavuza lapho engekho.

Futhi kwabesifazane okutholwe ukuthi banomdlavuza, isivivinyo asisebenzi ekuvumelaneni nale miphumela. Kwabesifazane abangaphezu kuka-10 000, cishe amaphesenti angama-72 alabo abaqala umdlavuza webele babenomphumela ojwayelekile we-thermogram.

Inkinga eyodwa ngalokhu kuhlolwa ukuthi inenkinga yokuhlukanisa izimbangela zokushisa okwengeziwe. Yize izindawo zemfudumalo esifubeni zingakhombisa umdlavuza webele, zingakhombisa nezifo ezinganomdlavuza njenge-mastitis.

I-Mammography nayo ingaba nemiphumela yokuthola amanga, futhi kwesinye isikhathi ingageja umdlavuza webele. Kodwa-ke kuseyiyo yokuthola umdlavuza webele kusenesikhathi.

Ngubani okufanele athole i-thermogram?

I-Thermography ikhuthazwe njengesivivinyo sokuhlola esisebenza kangcono kwabesifazane abangaphansi kweminyaka engama-50 kanye nalabo abanamabele aminyene. kula maqembu amabili.

Kodwa ngoba i-thermography ayiyinhle kakhulu ekuthatheni umdlavuza webele ngokwawo, akufanele uwusebenzise esikhundleni se-mammography. I-FDA abesifazane abasebenzisa kuphela i-thermography njengesengezo kuma-mammograms wokuthola umdlavuza webele.

Yini ongayilindela ngesikhathi senqubo

Ungacelwa ukuthi ugweme ukugqoka okokuphunga ngosuku lwesivivinyo.

Uzoqala ukhumule kusukela okhalweni kuye phezulu, ukuze umzimba wakho ukwazi ukujwayela ukushisa kwegumbi. Ngemuva kwalokho uzoma phambi kohlelo lwezithombe. Uchwepheshe uzothatha uchungechunge lwezithombe eziyisithupha - kufaka phakathi ukubukwa kwangaphambi nangasemaceleni - kwamabele akho. Isivivinyo sonke sithatha cishe imizuzu engama-30.

Udokotela wakho uzohlaziya izithombe, futhi uzothola imiphumela ezinsukwini ezimbalwa.

Imiphumela emibi engaba khona kanye nezingozi

I-Thermography isivivinyo esingahlaseli esisebenzisa ikhamera ukuthatha izithombe zamabele akho. Akukho ukuvezwa kwemisebe, akukho ukucindezelwa kwamabele akho, futhi okuhambisana nokuhlolwa.

Yize i-thermography iphephile, abukho ubufakazi bokuthi iyasebenza.Isivivinyo sinezinga eliphakeme lokuthola iqiniso, okusho ukuthi kwesinye isikhathi uthola umdlavuza uma kungekho noyedwa. Futhi kufanele uqaphele ukuthi isivivinyo asizweli njenge-mammography ekutholeni umdlavuza webele wokuqala.

Kubiza malini?

Izindleko ze-thermogram yebele ziyahlukahluka kuye ngesikhungo. Izindleko ezijwayelekile zizungeze u- $ 150 kuye ku- $ 200.

I-Medicare ayikhokhi izindleko ze-thermography. Ezinye izinhlelo zomshuwalense wezempilo ezizimele zingahlanganisa ingxenye noma zonke izindleko.

Khuluma nodokotela wakho

Khuluma nodokotela wakho ngezingozi zomdlavuza webele kanye nezinketho zakho zokuhlola.

Izinhlangano ezifana ne-American College of Physicians (ACP), i-American Cancer Society (ACS), ne-U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) ngayinye ineziqondiso zayo zokuhlola. Zonke zincoma i-mammography yokuthola umdlavuza webele usaqala.

I-mammogram iseyindlela ephumelela kunazo zonke yokuthola umdlavuza webele kusenesikhathi. Yize ama-mammograms ekuvezela amanani amancane emisebe, izinzuzo zokuthola umdlavuza webele zidlula izingozi zalokhu kuvezwa. Futhi, uchwepheshe wakho uzokwenza konke okusemandleni ukunciphisa ukutholakala kwemisebe yakho ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa.

Ngokuya ngobungozi bakho bomdlavuza webele, udokotela wakho angakweluleka ukuthi ungeze olunye uvivinyo njenge-ultrasound, imaging resonance imaging (MRI), noma i-thermography.

Uma unamabele aminyene, ungahle uthande ukubheka ukuhluka okusha kwe-mammogram, ebizwa nge-3-D mammography noma i-tomosynthesis. Lokhu kuhlolwa kudala izithombe zibe izingcezu ezincane, zinikeze i-radiologist umbono ongcono wanoma yikuphi ukukhula okungavamile emabeleni akho. Ucwaningo luthola ukuthi ama-mammograms ama-3-D anembile ekutholeni umdlavuza kunama-mammograms ajwayelekile we-2-D. Banciphisa nemiphumela yokuthola amanga.

Imibuzo okufanele uyibuze udokotela wakho

Uma unquma indlela yokuhlola umdlavuza webele, buza udokotela wakho le mibuzo:

• Ingabe ngisengozini enkulu yomdlavuza webele?
• Ingabe kufanele ngithole i-mammogram?
• Kufanele ngiqale nini ukuthola ama-mammograms?
• Ngidinga kangaki ukuthola ama-mammograms?
• Ngabe i-mammogram engu-3-D izowathuthukisa amathuba ami okutholakala kusenesikhathi?
• Ziyini izingcuphe ezingaba khona kulokhu kuhlolwa?
• Kwenzekani uma ngithola imiphumela engeyinhle?
• Ngabe ngidinga i-thermography noma olunye uvivinyo olwengeziwe lokuhlola umdlavuza webele?
