We are the first medical practice in Tarrant County offering the Vectra XT imaging system. This is truly a “Wow” device! Six cameras take pictures of you, then a computer takes those six pictures and reconstructs one 3-dimensional image. We can then do some amazing things with this 3-D image. The image can be rotated and twisted, allowing us to show you parts of you that are hard to see in a mirror. As part of the educational process, we can draw on the image to show you, for instance, where incisions may be required or to point out specific findings to make sure that we are talking about the things that are most important to you. For our breast augmentation patients it’s even better. Information about every breast implant currently available in the US is stored on the computer. We can take the 3-dimensional image of the woman’s chest and pick a specific size, shape, and volume implant. Click a button and voila! The computer creates an image of what the result of those specific implants might look like in that specific person. Want to see what a different set of implants might look like? Click, done. We have also found this to be very useful in our breast cancer patients. In those women it helps us tailor the final result to more closely match the size and look of the reconstructed breast to the breast without cancer. While this imaging system does not tell us exactly what someone’s final result will be, we have found it to be a wonderful tool in helping our patients understand possibilities. Vectra has been, for our practice, an incredible enhancement to the entire educational process for our patients. Come see it for yourself! We’re the first in the area to have it!
