Mammography
What is the mammogram process
Mammograms take an x-ray picture of the breast to check for signs of breast cancer in women who have no noticeable symptoms. They also can provide additional information for women who have located a lump or dense tissue that may be questionable.
Detailed or simple screening
Mammography can be performed as a simple screening or more detailed diagnostic. Diagnostic mammography takes longer and provides more views of the breast to help technicians get a better look at a suspicious area. It is generally used when an area of concern has been identified.
Prevention is key
Doctors recommend screening mammography as one of the best ways to catch and treat cancer early, before it has spread. Statistics show that screening mammography has helped significantly reduce the number of deaths from breast cancer, especially among women over 50.
