Dr. Cristina Cristos, a specialist in Breast Cancer Radiology at the Torrejón University Hospital, explains that contrast-enhanced mammography "has come to replace in some cases the test performed on patients with MRI, for example, in places where this technique is not available due to the type of facility it requires." “For patients it is a more comfortable technique and for professionals it allows us to make a perfect morphological and functional diagnosis, even seeing microcalcifications that are not detected on MRI, for example”, she assures. He also highlights the advantages it has for patients with contraindications to access an MRI.
Recently, a team of Bayern went to the University Hospital of Torrejón, managed by the Ribera group, to train for two days in breast radiology processes together with our professionals. During these days, in addition to attending different training sessions, they recorded three videos with doctors Julia Camps, corporate head of the group's Breast Area, and with Guadalupe Hernández and Cristina Cristos, both radiologists specializing in breast pathologies at the Hospital of Torrejon. For your interest, we will share these videos in different posts.
Regarding the different modalities for diagnosis and intervention in breast cancer, Dr. Cristos assures that "it is very important to have different techniques, because it improves and helps to make a complete and correct diagnosis of each case." “Each technique has its indication and they complement each other,” she adds.
