Summary
Computed tomography laser mammography (CTLM) is a new examination method, which is used for visualization of vascular structures, not only physiological blood vessels, but also neovascularization. Neovascularization can accompany growing malignant tumour. CTLM uses laser beam of the wavelength equal to 808 nanometres, which is absorbed in blood pigments of physiological and pathological blood-vessels and is able to display their distribution. CTLM offers new possibilities of breast disease diagnostic with demonstration of neovascularisation. CTLM is able to recognize malignant tumour from benign lesion. At present, CTLM is used only as a supplementary method of the basic examination.
Key words:
benign and malignant breast tumour, CT laser mammography, deoxyheamoglobin and oxyheamoglobin, neovascularization.
