Use of Frequency Specific Microcurrent in the Treatment of Breast Tissue: A Case Study | Chapter 7 | Disease and Health Research: New Insights Vol. 6

Mammographic or breast tissue density is a well-defined risk factor for breast cancer and having extremely dense breast tissue is associated with a one-to-six-fold increased risk of breast cancer. This case study follows the use of Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) to treat a 54-year-old woman with dense breast tissue. Frequency-specific microcurrent treatment can relieve pain using very low levels of electrical current. Mammograms which were performed in 2018 and 2021 showed heterogeneously dense breast tissue, Category C. The 2021 mammogram procedure was excruciatingly painful for the patient during the breast compression.  FSM treatment involved using frequencies resurrected from the 1920s and applied with a modern microcurrent device. The current and frequencies were applied through the breast tissue. The most effective frequencies used were described as working to remove calcifications and oxalate crystals from the breast tissue. This treatment caused immediate softening of the involved tissue and less pain with palpation of the breast tissue. A mammogram in 2023 post-FSM treatment showed the patient did not have dense tissue and rated the breast tissue at a Category B. A mammogram performed in 2023 was pain-free on one side and mildly painful on the other side. After the final treatment, the patient adopted a low oxalate diet that she hoped would be helpful in reducing the recurrence of breast density and tenderness. This study suggests that FSM is potentially a useful therapy to decrease breast tissue density and calcification, warranting further investigation in a larger sample.

Statistical Measures Performance for Preprocessing and Locate ROI Using Segmentation in Mammograms | Chapter 9 | Innovations in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 3

Breast cancer is a cancer that develops from breast tissue and it is considered one of the deadly diseases for women. X-ray mammography is the most successful method for the early phase detection of breast diseases. Micro-calcifications in mammogram have been targeted as earliest symptom of breast cancer and their detection is very important to improve its prediction. For micro calcifications, the interpretation of their presence is very tricky because they are very small, typically in the range of 0.1 mm- 1.0 mm and average is about 0.3 mm. Micro-calcification is a tiny bit, which may not be clearly visible because of low contrast in the mammogram image. To and locate the region of interest using segmentation technique. This paper presents statistical measures of different preprocessing to lighten the low contrast images and selecting filter for accurate detection of microcalicifications with proper segmentation technique.
