More specifically, the breast cancer examination can be performed more precisely regardless of the size of the patient, and the movable near infrared ray can be performed. The present invention relates to a breast cancer inspection apparatus having an irradiation unit and capable of photographing lesions of breast tissue near the pectoral muscle area and the armpit.

In general, breast cancer is adenocarcinoma of the breast (腺癌: adenocacinoma) is the most common carcinoma of women in the West, many studies are being conducted, and the incidence in Korea is relatively small, followed by cervical cancer and stomach cancer of women However, it is increasing recently.

Although the exact cause of breast cancer has not yet been identified in recent years, it occurs in people who consume western foods rich in fat or meat, and the incidence rate is high in women after age 35, especially in women over 50. In addition, it is known that the incidence is high in women who have experienced early menarche or who are not pregnant, who are single women, who have given birth to their first baby after 30 years, or who are not breastfeeding. In particular, the risk of incidence increases even when a close relative has breast cancer.

As such, breast cancer is not only a major cause of mortality in women, but also causes disability, psychological shock, and economic loss, and many women with this disease eventually die due to direct or indirect complications.

Therefore, not only should we do our best to prevent breast cancer, but we also need periodic diagnosis to detect it early.

Currently, as a medical device for diagnosing breast cancer, a diagnostic apparatus using far infrared rays, X-rays, and ultrasound is generally used.

Among them, the breast cancer test apparatus using far infrared rays is diagnosed by measuring the temperature inside the body tissues and discriminating the normal and cancer cell tissues according to the temperature difference, but this has a disadvantage in that the accuracy is poor.

In addition, a breast cancer screening apparatus using X-rays transmits radiation to the human body to determine cancer cells. However, since it uses radiation, it is harmful to the human body. There was a disadvantage that it would remain.

In addition, the breast cancer diagnosis apparatus using ultrasound is used to diagnose breast cancer through an image taken by using ultrasound, but this also discriminates cancer cells through the captured ultrasound image. There was this.

In the breast cancer inspection apparatus using the X-ray, the X-ray irradiated from the X-ray tube is transmitted through a scintillator, and the image of the photographed part of the subject is transferred to a CCD camera or a TFT (automatic film developing device). After receiving the data, it can be transferred to a computer, and the information of the photographed portion can be imaged and read through the monitor.

This breast cancer screening device eliminates the need for a separate film, which solves the film storage area of the hospital, reduces labor costs and machine installation costs due to film movement, prevents the release of pollutants (mercury) during film development, There was an effect such as to shorten the diagnosis time of the patient.

However, such a conventional breast cancer inspection apparatus is placed on the scintillator is installed on the lower side of the x-ray apparatus to determine the position and location of the cancer approximately through the image taken by projecting the x-ray, so that the exact There was a problem that it is difficult to detect the presence and location of the cancer.

In addition, there is a problem that it is difficult to take a diagnosis of the lesions of the breast tissue near the pectoral muscle area and the armpit where x-ray imaging is difficult.

In addition, X-ray imaging is harmful to the human body because it uses radiation, there is a problem that the weak radiation continues to remain in the human body when the radiation is transmitted through the human body.

Accordingly, the technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to provide a breast cancer screening apparatus capable of performing a more precise breast cancer test by having both an X-ray imaging unit and a near infrared imaging unit.

Another technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to provide a breast cancer screening apparatus capable of examining cancer using near infrared rays regardless of the size of the patient.

Another technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to provide a breast cancer inspection apparatus having a movable near-infrared irradiator which can photograph lesions of breast tissue near the pectoral muscle area and the armpit.
