    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Hand Surgery
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Mammography is effective for soft tissue imaging, particularly detecting microcalcifications in breast tissue.
    • Diagnosing radiolucent foreign bodies, soft tissue tumors, and bone tumors in hand surgery presents diagnostic challenges.
    • Previous experience with mammography of the Achilles tendon informed the development of a new technique.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To adapt mammography for enhanced soft tissue diagnosis in hand surgery.
    • To present the exposure technique for this specialized mammographic investigation.
    • To illustrate the application of the technique through clinical case examples.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a specialized mammography technique based on experience with Achilles tendon mammography.
    • Application of the technique for soft tissue diagnosis in hand surgery.
    • Presentation of four distinct case studies demonstrating the technique's utility.

    Main Results:

    • The study details the exposure parameters for the specialized mammography technique.
    • Case examples include successful diagnosis of osteoid osteoma.
    • The technique was effective in assessing glass particle injuries, explosion injuries, and general soft tissue glass injuries in the hand.

    Conclusions:

    • The adapted mammography technique offers a valuable tool for soft tissue diagnosis in hand surgery.
    • This method can improve the detection of various pathologies, including foreign bodies and tumors.
    • The presented cases highlight the technique's versatility and diagnostic potential in hand surgery.
