Mammography
Mammography is a specific type of imaging that uses a low-dose Xray system for
examination of the breasts. The images of the breasts can be viewed on film at
a view box or as soft copy on a digital mammography work station. Most medical
experts agree that successful treatment of breast cancer often is linked to early
diagnosis. Mammography plays a central part in early detection of breast cancers
because it can show changes in the breast up to two years before a patient or
physician can feel them. Current guidelines from the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS), the American Cancer Society (ACS), the American Medical
Association (AMA) and the American College of Radiology (ACR) recommend screening
mammography every year for women, beginning at age 40.
