Mastopathy - disease of mammary glands manifested by violation of a hormonal
correlation of an epithelial and connective tissue on background extended ducts
and cysts. The purpose of our research – evaluation of the possibilities
of an electroimpedance mammography in diagnostics of the mastopathy. The research
was conducted with the help of a 256-electrode mammograph «Breast Cancer
Detection Device», (BCDD) designed by Institute of Radioengineering and
Electronics of Russian Academy of Sciences. We examined 101 healthy women in
the age of 19 till 76 years and 94 women in the age of 21 till 64 years with
the approved diagnosis of mastopathy. Electroimpedance image of mamma with mastopathy
is characterized by smoothly varying distribution of gray hues, absence of a
focal symptomatic and absence hyperimpedance regions, which can be visualized
on the EIT image of mamma in the norm. The average conductivity of mamma for
patient with mastopathy is lower, than for the h!
ealthy women and has age features. At the estimation of graphical distribution
of conductivity the tendency of a unimodal distribution with shift to the right
is scored. Our data allow to apply bioimpedance mammography in screening estimation
and as a method to control the treatment of mastopathy of the women of different
age groups.
