Mammography is an imaging technique that uses X-rays to detect and diagnose breast-related diseases in women. The healthcare provider uses mammograms to screen for breast cancer in women with no signs and symptoms. It is called Screening Mammograms. The screening mammograms usually take two or more X-ray images of each breast. The X-ray images thus help to detect tumors (if any) that the patient cannot feel. Such screening also detects tiny deposits of calcium that may indicate the presence of breast cancer. A Diagnostic Mammography aids in evaluating patients with abnormal clinical findings- such as nipple discharge, lumps, and more. This type of mammography may be conducted after an abnormal screening mammogram to evaluate the area of concern. There are many diagnostic centres that provide advanced mammography services like Digital mammography, also called FFDM (Full-field digital mammography). It uses computer-based electronic detectors to display the picture of the interior of the breast. The radiologist positions the breasts on the platform and gradually compresses them using a plastic paddle. The patient will have to change positions in between to take images from different angles. The patient needs to stay still and may be required to hold their breath while the radiologist takes the mammogram. The complete mammography process usually takes around 30 minutes.
