Uijeongbu Eulji Hospital Introduces 3D Automatic Breast Ultrasound...10 minutes to determine tumor location and size
May 28, 2025
Uijeongbu Eulji University Hospital introduced a three-dimensional automatic breast cancer ultrasound equipment that dramatically increased the accuracy of breast cancer diagnosis and began full-scale operation. It is a device that automatically scans the entire breast and generates 3D images by an electric transducer tailored to the female body type.
It is more accurate than the existing cross-sectional image-centered test and provides three-dimensional image information to help medical staff diagnose.
In particular, it has high diagnostic accuracy as it can analyze the presence, location, size, and tissue characteristics of the tumor in multiple ways with a single test, and is considered effective in early diagnosis of breast cancer in women with dense breast.
In fact, in previous studies, when automatic breast ultrasound is combined with mammography, the average probability of finding abnormal tissues including cancer is 27% higher. This equipment automatically scans the breast at a constant pressure by the transducer, so there is less pain during the examination and can also minimize variations in test accuracy, which may vary depending on the examiner.
In addition, the high satisfaction of patients is also advantageous in that the examination time is short, around 10 minutes, allowing quick and burden-free examinations.
Uijeongbu Eulji Hospital plans to further strengthen its early breast cancer diagnosis capabilities by introducing automatic breast ultrasound equipment and expand a differentiated precise diagnosis system that allows female patients to be tested with confidence.
