Mammography is a specialized X-ray examination that is used to visualize breast tissue. This method can detect changes in breast structure, including the presence of calcifications and cysts, often before symptoms appear. This is an important tool for early diagnosis of breast cancer, as detecting the disease at an early stage significantly increases the chances of successful treatment. The procedure is completely painless and is recommended for women over 40 years of age as a regular preventive examination. If an illness is suspected, the procedure is desirable for all women, regardless of age. K Mediwell offers digital mammography. It is much clearer and more accurate than the traditional one.
It is recommended for women over 40 for regular breast cancer screening, even if there are no complaints or symptoms.
When symptoms appear, such as breast lumps, changes in the shape or size of the breast, nipple discharge, nipple retraction, or skin changes.
To monitor the dynamics of already diagnosed benign neoplasms, cysts, and fibroadenomas.
For patients who have undergone breast cancer surgery or have undergone radiation therapy to monitor the condition of the remaining breast tissue.
More frequent and early screening is recommended for women who have a family history of breast cancer.
In such cases, mammography complements other diagnostic methods (e.g. ultrasound), as dense tissue makes it difficult to interpret the results.
Mammography may be prescribed before mammoplasty or other surgical procedures.
Mammography is not recommended for pregnant women, as X-rays can have a negative impact on fetal development. In case of emergency, other diagnostic methods, such as ultrasound, may be used.
During breastfeeding, breast tissue changes, making it difficult to interpret the results. Mammography is usually performed only under strict indications.
If there are open wounds, inflammation, or infections on the breast skin, mammography can cause discomfort and affect image quality.
Mammography is not recommended for several weeks or months after surgery, as it can cause pain and distort results.
Although the presence of implants is not an absolute contraindication, they can make research difficult. In such cases, specialized techniques are used to obtain high-quality images.
Digital mammography provides more detailed images than film mammography, which makes it possible to better distinguish between tissues and detect small tumors.
Due to the higher sensitivity of the DR detector, digital mammography reduces the radiation load by about 30%.
The images appear on a computer screen almost instantly, allowing radiologists to analyze results more quickly.
Digital mammography makes it possible to better distinguish between changes in breast tissue, especially in women with dense breast tissue.
A radiologist can increase, decrease, change contrast and improve image quality for more accurate diagnosis.
Digital images are easy to store electronically and can be easily transferred between medical institutions for consultations.
