Mammogram

Screening
BY:- CARE DIAGNOSTIC CENTRE
INTRODUCTION
Mammogram is specialized medical imaging that
uses a low-dose x-ray system to see inside the
breasts. A mammography exam, called a
mammogram, aids in the early detection and
diagnosis of breast diseases in women. This
imaging does not prevent, cancer, but rather aids
in early detection of cancer before it has a chance
to spread.

Types of Mammogram Screening
• Screening Mammogram :- Screening mammography is
a low-dose X-ray examination of a woman's breasts used to
detect breast cancer when that cancer is too small to be
felt as a lump. Screening mammography is carried out on
women who do not have any symptoms of breast disease.
• Diagnostic Mammogram :- A diagnostic mammogram is
an X-ray examination of the breasts. This is carried out
when a person, their doctor or another health professional
discovers unusual signs or symptoms in one or both
breasts; that is, a lump, tenderness, nipple discharge or
skin changes.

BENEFITS OF MAMMOGRAM
SCREENING
• Screening mammography reduces the risk of death due to
breast cancer. It is useful for detecting all types of breast
cancer, including invasive ductal and invasive lobular
cancer.
• Screening mammography improves a physician's ability to
detect small tumors. When cancers are small, the woman
has more treatment options.
• The use of screening mammography increases the
detection of small abnormal tissue growths confined to the
milk ducts in the breast, called ductal carcinoma in situ.
RISKS OF MAMMOGRAM
SCREENING
• There is always a slight chance of cancer from excessive
exposure to radiation. However, the benefit of an accurate
diagnosis far outweighs the risk.
• The effective radiation dose for this procedure varies. See
the Radiation Dose in X-Ray and CT Exams page for more
information about radiation dose.
• Women should always inform their physician or x-ray
technologist if there is any possibility that they are
pregnant.
