Description

Mammography is a specialized medical imaging technique used to screen for and detect breast cancer in its early stages. It involves taking low-dose X-ray images of the breast tissue to identify abnormalities such as tumors, cysts, or calcifications. Mammography plays a crucial role in breast cancer screening programs and is recommended for women starting at a certain age, typically around 40 or 50, depending on individual risk factors and guidelines from health organizations. Screening mammograms are performed routinely on asymptomatic women to detect breast cancer early when it is most treatable. Diagnostic mammograms may also be performed if there are symptoms such as a lump, nipple discharge, or breast pain, to further evaluate any abnormalities found on screening or to investigate specific concerns. Mammography is considered one of the most effective tools for breast cancer detection and has contributed to significant improvements in survival rates for women with breast cancer.
