Mammography is all about using a mammography machine to scan the breast and present the result as an x-ray image. It helps to detect early signs of breast cancer. Regular mammograms are among the most effective tests doctors can use to identify breast cancer earlier and often three years before it is able to be detected.
Some of the benefits that you can reap for you include:
- A lower exposure to radiation when compared to a conventional mammogram using film.
- Re-takes of mammograms are less frequent, which will mean less time is spent by you
- Images with higher resolution and image manipulation to allow for precise detection and diagnosis
- Images are saved to computer files to make it easy to access and sharing with experts.
Mammography is most suitable for you if:
- You are younger than 50 years old.
- Have dense breasts
- Haven’t had menopausal symptoms before or experienced them in the last year.
