Facilities Name :- Mammography
Mammography Is A Specialized Medical Imaging Technique That Uses Low-dose X-rays To Examine The Human Breast. It Is Primarily Used As A Diagnostic And Screening Tool For The Early Detection Of Breast Cancer And Other Breast Abnormalities. The Procedure Involves Compressing The Breast Between Two Plates To Spread The Tissue For Clearer Images And To Minimize Radiation Exposure. Mammograms Can Reveal Tumors That Are Too Small To Be Felt And Detect Microcalcifications (tiny Deposits Of Calcium) That May Indicate The Presence Of Breast Cancer.
There Are Two Main Types Of Mammography:
- Screening Mammography – Used For Women Without Symptoms To Detect Early Signs Of Breast Cancer.
- Diagnostic Mammography – Used To Investigate Breast Changes Such As Lumps, Pain, Or Nipple Discharge.
Digital And 3D (tomosynthesis) Mammography Are Newer Forms That Offer Improved Image Quality And Diagnostic Accuracy. Regular Mammograms Are Recommended For Women Over The Age Of 40 Or Earlier For Those With Higher Risk Factors.
