Mammography

What is Mammography?

​

A mammogram or mammography test uses low-energy X-RAY for Breast Imaging for the assessment of breast lesions. Each of the breasts is examined separately, compressed against a film to obtain images of calcification and masses in the breasts.

​

Why is a Mammography test performed?

​

A mammography test may be performed for several reasons, either through a referral by a doctor or opted by the patient independently.

​

Screening Mammography: If a doctor recommends a mammogram as a routine examination to check for any changes in the breasts which may be signs and symptoms of breast cancer.

​

Diagnostic Mammography: A diagnostic mammogram of the breasts can help in the diagnosis of unusual breast changes noticed by a woman like a lump, pain, nipple thickening or discharge, or a change in breast size and shape.

 

Breast Cancer is the second most common cancer as seen in Indian females and accounts for nearly 20% of all cancers seen in Indian women.

 

WHO recommends preventive screening for breast cancer every 2 years for women, regardless of their age.
