METHOD FOR DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSTICS OF MAMMARY GLAND DISEASES Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC A61B8/06 

FIELD: medicine, surgery.

SUBSTANCE: one should carry out differential diagnostics of mammary gland neoplasms due to detecting physical values in pathological area. Moreover, it is necessary to determine the values of microcirculation for the period of 10 min after a 10-min-long period of hemodynamics stabilization due to laser Doppler flowmetry, above neoplasm (M₁), and then - in intact area (M₀) being a symmetric skin sector of contralateral gland, and in case of its absence - a skin sector of affected gland being symmetric against median-clavicular line. It is important to calculate the index of correlation (Ic) by the following formula: (Ic)=M₁/M₀, and at its value being either equal or below 1.1 it is possible to diagnose a benign disease, and at its value being above 1.1 one should predict a malignant disease. The innovation enables to differentiate malignant and benign forms of volumetric mammary gland neoplasms noninvasively.

EFFECT: higher accuracy of diagnostics.
