Mammogram for breast cancer diagnosis and early detection
Mammography is a powerful diagnostic tool designed to detect early signs of breast cancer, enabling timely intervention and potentially life-saving treatment.
Importance of Mammograms and their significance in women’s health
The Essence of Mammography
Mammography is a specialized X-ray examination of the breast tissue. It plays a crucial role in detecting abnormalities that may not be palpable, such as tiny tumors or microcalcifications.
Recommended Timing
​Mammography is typically recommended for women as a screening tool, starting at around the age of 40. For women with a family history of breast cancer or other risk factors, screenings may commence even earlier.
Best Practices in Mammography

Preparing for Your Mammogram
Wardrobe Considerations
On the day of your mammogram, it's advisable to wear a two-piece outfit to facilitate ease of undressing for the procedure.
Avoid Deodorants and Lotions
​To ensure the accuracy of the images, it's best to avoid using deodorants, lotions, or powders on your chest area before the mammogram.
Age Guidelines and Frequency of Mammography
Starting Age
While guidelines may vary, most medical organizations recommend that women begin receiving mammograms between the ages of 40 and 50. For women with higher risk factors, screenings may commence earlier.
Frequency
Mammograms are generally recommended annually or biennially, depending on your age, risk factors, and previous findings.
Decoding Mammogram Results
Understanding the Report
After your mammogram, the images are reviewed by our skilled radiologists. The results are then communicated to you and your healthcare provider.
False Positives and Follow-Up
It's important to note that not all abnormalities detected on a mammogram indicate cancer. False positives can occur, leading to further diagnostic tests or imaging. In some cases, a follow-up mammogram or ultrasound may be recommended to clarify the findings.
The Importance of Expert Consultation
