MAMMOGRAM (BOTH BREASTS)

Mammography, a pivotal diagnostic tool in women’s health, employs X-ray technology to detect and diagnose breast diseases, whether symptomatic or asymptomatic. It serves as a proactive means to identify breast cancers, benign tumors, and cysts before they become palpable or cause noticeable symptoms. While a mammogram cannot definitively confirm cancer, it raises suspicions that may prompt further investigation through a biopsy. Advances in technology over the past three decades have transformed mammography, enhancing both technique and results. Modern, dedicated equipment tailored for breast X-rays delivers high-quality images with minimal radiation exposure, addressing concerns about potential risks. The procedure stands as a testament to the relentless progress in medical science, prioritizing early detection and improving overall outcomes in women’s healthcare.
