FAQs

What is the difference between screening and diagnostic mammography?

Screening mammography is performed in women without breast symptoms as part of routine breast cancer screening. Diagnostic mammography is performed when there is a breast symptom, an abnormal clinical finding, or an area of concern on a previous screening examination.

Can mammography detect breast cancer at an early stage?

Yes. Mammography can detect certain breast cancers and other suspicious changes before they can be felt as a lump, which is an important reason it is used for screening.

Can mammography be performed if there is a breast lump?

Yes. When a breast lump or another focal symptom is present, diagnostic mammography may be recommended, often together with targeted ultrasound depending on the patient's age, symptoms, and clinical findings.

What are the advantages of X-Ray Mammography (Both Breasts)?

Bilateral mammography provides detailed low-dose X-ray images of both breasts and is an important tool for early detection of breast cancer and evaluation of breast abnormalities such as masses, calcifications, and architectural changes. It can identify some abnormalities before they become clinically detectable.
