Bhubaneswar, Nov 13: Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) has unveiled Odisha’s first 3D Digital Mammography machine, featuring an integrated Stereotactic Biopsy System. The state-of-the-art technology, inaugurated by KIIT and KISS founder Achyuta Samanta, aims to improve early and accurate breast cancer diagnosis in the region.
Samanta expressed his optimism about the technology, highlighting its potential to save lives by offering advanced breast cancer screening to people in Odisha. The 3D mammography system provides high-resolution imaging with minimal radiation exposure. It uses dual-mode tomosynthesis to capture detailed images of breast tissue from multiple angles, giving doctors a clearer, three-dimensional view that enhances diagnostic accuracy.
A standout feature of the new machine is its flat-panel detector, which allows for quicker, low-dose exams while maintaining high-quality results, ensuring a more comfortable experience for patients. This technological addition is set to transform breast cancer detection and improve patient care in the region.
