Mammography

Health Care Term


Mammography is a diagnostic imaging technique that uses low-dose X-rays to produce images of the breast. It is a crucial tool in the detection of breast cancer and is used for both screening (routine check-ups for women at average risk) and diagnostic purposes (investigations of abnormalities detected during screening or due to patient symptoms).

During a mammogram, the breast is compressed between two plates to spread out the tissue and allow for clear imaging. The resulting images are examined by radiologists who look for any abnormal signs, such as masses or calcifications, that could indicate breast cancer.

Mammography is a widely used tool in the healthcare industry for breast cancer screening, and it has been shown to reduce mortality rates by detecting cancers at an early stage where treatment is most effective. It is generally recommended that women start having mammograms at age 40 and get them annually, although recommendations vary based on individual factors like family history of breast cancer.

Overall, mammography plays a critical role in breast cancer detection and prevention, allowing for earlier diagnoses, better treatment outcomes, and potentially saving lives.
