Stereotactic Mammography

Stereotactic Mammography

Mammography is a rapid diagnostic method for breast cancer, utilizing mild X-ray radiation. Typically, if the patient exhibits symptoms such as pain, lump detection, skin scaling on the breast surface, indentation, or other breast abnormalities, the physician may recommend mammography for a clearer assessment of the condition.

Mammogram devices come in three types: digital, CAD, and DBT.
In digital devices, the processed image from the interaction of X-rays with body tissues is recorded on radiographic films, enabling the specialist to assess the breast condition and identify any abnormalities.
In CAD devices, abnormalities such as lumps, calcium deposits, etc., are highlighted to aid the physician and specialist in easily identifying the issue.
DBT, or 3D mammography, captures images of the breast from various angles in three dimensions. This method has additional benefits, such as the ability to detect multiple tumors and reducing the need for additional tests due to clearer images. It provides a more precise view of breast abnormalities, including their location, shape, and size. Although this clarity is achieved by a higher X-ray dose compared to digital mammography, it does not pose significant risks, as the radiation dose in all mammograms is approved by the FDA and the World Health Organization.
