  2. Breast Canceris the leading site for both sexes in 2010 and ranks 1st among women. • One out of four who are diagnosed with breast cancer die within the first five years. No less than 40% die within ten years. One out of 100 women would have died from breast cancer before age 75.

  3. All WOMENare at risk Breast cancer is the leading killer of women ages 35 to 54 worldwide.  More than a million women develop breast cancer without knowing it and almost 500,000 die from it every year.  2013 Philippine Breast Cancer Network: www.pbcn.org

  11. ELECTRICAL IMPENDANCE COMPUTER MAMMOGRAPH VERSION 5.6 Early Detection means >>>LIFE!

  12. Electrical Impedance Tomography • every single tissue type in the breast has a different electrical conductivity profile • alternative/complementary technique to mammography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for breast cancer detection

  13. Electrical Impedance Tomography • Advanced digital imaging reconstruction algorithms • To identify, locate and size different female breast abnormalities: tumors, cysts, fibroadenomas, etc.

  14. Theory of Operation

  15. Key Features • Early detection of breast anomalies (3-5mm) • Highly accurate – 88% specificity & 98% sensitive • No age barrier • Less than 35 seconds to perform scanning and display images • Portable • Non-invasive (Radiation Free) • Pain Free

  16. "The greatest risk of getting breast cancer tomorrow is being born today in a developing country.  The greatest risk of not surviving breast cancer today is being a woman in the Philippines."  Rosa Francia-Meneses, 1999 World Conference on Breast Cancer, Ottawa
