Description

[0002] Diagnosing apparatus for breast lesion [0003]

The present invention relates to a device for diagnosing a breast lesion, and more particularly, to a device for diagnosing a breast lesion that occurs in the inside of a breast.

With the advent of the age of aging and the improvement of people's standard of living, there is a growing interest in the early diagnosis and treatment of illness in order to lead a healthy life. In the case of cancer among various diseases, As the most important factor that threatens the public health.

According to the Cancer Registration Division of the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Family Affairs, it is estimated that more than 130,000 new cancer patients occur annually in Korea. Using the number of cancer cases registered between 2003 and 2005, 300.0 cases of women and 248.2 cases of women.

The incidence of cancer is higher in the order of stomach cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, and colon cancer, which account for 66% of the total male cancer incidence, while cancer incidence is higher in breast cancer, thyroid cancer, Stomach cancer, colon cancer, and lung cancer, breast cancer is higher than the four major cancer.

Thus, early diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer, which has the highest incidence rate in women, is an important factor that must be preceded for the healthy living of women.

On the other hand, among the breast cancer diagnosis methods, mammography diagnostic apparatus using mammography, which is mainly used for breast cancer diagnosis in asymptomatic women, is to detect lesions existing in the breast by using X-rays.

However, in the conventional apparatus for diagnosing breast lesion, since the result of imaging using X-ray is a two-dimensional image, the lesion of the region of interest overlaps with the normal tissue, so that it is difficult to detect a mass of breast which is an important factor in the diagnosis of breast cancer.

Such a two-dimensional image generated through the conventional apparatus for diagnosing a breast lesion has a problem that the accuracy and discrimination power thereof is low and diagnosis of erroneous breast cancer is high.

Specifically, the x-ray absorptivity of breast tissue and cancer is very difficult to distinguish because of the small difference between them, and thus there is a high probability of false positive or false negative. In reality, 30% of false positive diagnoses are in the medical diagnosis field.

Such conventional diagnostic apparatus for breast lesion has a low diagnostic accuracy as described above. Even if there is breast cancer, normal or positive mammograms, which are read as positive, overlook the breast cancer, And it is becoming a main cause of causing legal problems due to medical accidents while threatening the health of patients.

Therefore, it is urgently required to develop a breast cancer diagnosis method with high accuracy so as to reduce the probability of false positives and false negatives in the diagnosis of breast cancer so that unnecessary re-imaging and biopsy are not required.

The photodetector 320 can acquire the photodiagnosis image of the diagnosis object B from the light irradiated from the light irradiation unit 310 and transmitted through the diagnosis object B. For example, the photodetector 320 may be formed of a plurality of photodiodes 321 arranged to have a predetermined pattern. The plurality of photodiodes 321 disposed in the photodetector 320 may be disposed at positions corresponding to the plurality of light sources 311 disposed in the light irradiating unit 310.

At this time, since the diagnosis object B is inspected in a state that the object to be diagnosed is pressed and fixed in different states by the compression pads 450, the diagnostic object (B) B, < / RTI > different shapes, positions, states, and angles. This poses a problem that it is difficult to generate diagnostic data for determining whether or not the diagnosis object B is lesioned. That is, a series of processes for generating a three-dimensional image through image information for determining whether or not a lesion of the diagnosis object B is lesioned and generating diagnosis data by matching the x-ray diagnosis image and the photodiagnostic image to each other is very complicated have.

However, the apparatus for diagnosing a breast lesion 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is configured such that the diagnosis target B is compressed and fixed, and the same shape, position, and position are determined through the X-ray diagnosis unit 200 and the optical diagnosis unit 300, The X-ray diagnosis image and the photodiagnostic image having the state and angle can be obtained, so that diagnostic data for judging the lesion of the diagnosis object B can be easily obtained. That is, the diagnostic data for the diagnosis object B can be generated without matching the X-ray diagnosis image and the optical diagnosis image with each other, so that the characteristic effect that the diagnosis data of the diagnosis object B can be generated quickly and accurately is generated do.
