Mammography

Mammography – Advanced Breast Cancer Screening & Diagnosis

Mammography is a specialised X-ray imaging technique used to detect breast cancer and other abnormalities at an early stage. At Biotrexxa Global Health Caare, Bangalore, we use state-of-the-art digital and 3D mammography for high-precision imaging and accurate diagnosis.

What is Mammography?
Mammography is a low-dose X-ray imaging method designed to examine breast tissue for tumours, cysts, and other abnormalities. It plays a crucial role in early breast cancer detection, even before symptoms develop, improving treatment outcomes.

Screening vs Diagnostic Mammography

• Screening Mammography – Recommended for asymptomatic women as a routine check-up for early detection of breast cancer, typically starting at age 40 or earlier for high-risk individuals.

• Diagnostic Mammography – Used when a woman has breast cancer symptoms such as lumps, pain, nipple discharge, or abnormal screening results. It involves additional imaging for a more detailed assessment.

Types of Mammography

• Digital Mammography (2D Mammography) – A standard technique that provides clear breast images with enhanced contrast for accurate detection.

• 3D Mammography (Tomosynthesis) – Captures multiple breast images from different angles, providing detailed, layered views, reducing false positives and improving accuracy.

• Contrast-Enhanced Mammography – Uses a contrast dye to highlight abnormal tissues, improving cancer detection, especially in dense breasts.

Who Should Get a Mammogram?

• Women over 40 years for regular screening.

• Women with a family history of breast cancer or genetic risk factors.

• Those experiencing breast pain, lumps, or nipple changes.

• Individuals with dense breast tissue, requiring advanced imaging.
