Inventor Dr. Anna Jerebko wants to make the smallest tissue changes visible with new medical imaging methods in order to detect carcinomas or anomalies as early as possible. The Inventor of the Year at Siemens Healthineers has developed algorithms for mammography. These create high-resolution 3D animations from tomographic images of the breast. Doctors can detect and analyze microcalcifications as small as 100 to 200 micrometers, which can develop into breast cancer.
