Most women are all too familiar with the pressure of a routine mammogram. In some cases, the discomfort and pain can be enough to deter some from getting screened altogether. Koning wants you to know there is an alternative that is both pain-free and accurate: our Vera breast CT device.
What does a screening appointment with us look like?
Much like with any other breast imaging method, once you have arrived you will briefly discuss your health history with your doctor. You will then be given a robe to change into and taken into the exam room.
Vera looks like a massage table, you will be asked to lie face down. A pillow may be added under your legs for extra comfort. The scan itself lasts 7 seconds per breast without any painful compression. Those with breast implants can breathe a special sigh of relief as implants must typically be pushed back against the chest wall for the tissue to be visible in a mammogram.
With Koning Vera breast CT, the procedure looks the same for all patients.
Once you are cleared to go home, you can rest assured that the results are as accurate as ever thanks to our real 3D technology. The focal spot size, the improved detector and the exquisite spatial resolution allow your specialist to see cancers that are 4mm or less in size.
Help us grow by letting your doctor know you would like our device installed in your clinic. For providers looking to modernize breast cancer detection locally, fill out this form and a Koning representative will contact you with more information on the next steps.
We look forward to expanding near you!
