Mammograms serve a dual purpose—screening for breast cancer and investigating any symptoms or irregularities found in other imaging tests. Screening Mammogram is ideal for those without signs or symptoms, aiming to detect potential cancerous breast changes early when treatment may be less invasive.
Diagnostic Mammogram is utilized to investigate suspicious breast changes, such as new lumps, breast pain, unusual skin appearance, nipple thickening, or discharge. It is also employed to assess unexpected findings from a screening mammogram.
Mammograms produce digital images displayed on a computer screen. A radiologist, meticulously examines these images, search for evidence of cancer and other conditions that may necessitate further testing, follow-up, or treatment. The comprehensive results are compiled in a detailed report provided to your healthcare provider, ensuring a thorough understanding of your breast health.
