State-of-the-Art Mammography for Early Breast Cancer Detection in Odesa
A new state-of-the-art mammography system, the Giotto Class 3D-C, has been installed at the consulting and diagnostic center of the city clinical hospital No. 1 in Odesa, located at: 38 Bolgarska Street.
This innovative mammography, utilizing second-generation tomosynthesis (3D mammography), allows for the creation of a three-dimensional map of breast tissue with 1mm thick slices. This capability significantly enhances the ability of doctors to detect even minor tissue changes in the earliest stages, greatly improving prevention and treatment effectiveness.
Benefits of the Giotto Class 3D-C mammography:
- High diagnostic accuracy — tumors can be detected before symptoms appear.
- Minimal radiation exposure.
- High image quality — a wide scanning angle, superior sharpness, improved contrast, and reduced noise ensure clear and informative images.
- Comfort and speed of examination.
Examinations are provided free of charge with an electronic referral from a family doctor or a specialist — such as a mammologist, obstetrician-gynecologist, or oncologist.
The mammography room No. 718 operates on the 7th floor of the consulting and diagnostic center of the city clinical hospital No. 1 at 38 Bolgarska Street, open from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, Monday through Friday.
Appointment scheduling can be done by calling the hospital's contact center at (0800) 33 23 01.
