Mammography

Mammography is a specialized imaging technique used to screen and diagnose breast abnormalities, particularly breast cancer. It involves capturing X-ray images of the breast tissue to detect any signs of tumors or other abnormalities. Mammography plays a crucial role in early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer, as it can identify small lesions or calcifications that may not be palpable during a physical examination. This non-invasive procedure is performed using dedicated mammography machines and typically involves compressing the breast between two plates to obtain clear and detailed images. Mammography is an essential tool in breast cancer screening programs, enabling early detection and improving the chances of successful treatment outcomes.
