Digital Mammography

Digital Mammography is an advanced imaging technique used for breast cancer screening and diagnosis. Here’s a brief overview:

Digital Mammography

  • Purpose: Detects breast cancer and other breast abnormalities through X-ray imaging of the breast tissue.
  • Procedure:Involves compressing the breast between two plates and taking X-ray images.
  • Digital Technology:Utilizes digital detectors to capture and produce high-resolution images of the breast tissue.
  • Advantages:Offers clearer images, allows for manipulation of image contrast and brightness, facilitates easier storage and retrieval of images, and enables computer-aided detection (CAD) systems for improved accuracy.
  • Screening:Used for routine breast cancer screening in asymptomatic women and for diagnostic purposes in women with symptoms or abnormal mammograms.

Digital mammography is a vital tool in the early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer, contributing to improved outcomes and survival rates for women with breast cancer.
