Mammography is a modern technique involving high-resolution images which clearly visualize tiniest changes in the breast and allows to fully describe the organ and its function during the work-up.
Only professional health care specialists can provide competent description of the picture produced by digital mammography system. Only with the imaging report physician would set right diagnose and offer the best treatment option.
Extra sensitive compression system delivers images from various views and perform examination safely with minimal radiation exposure.
With high-tech digital Giotto mammography unit and innovative processing techniques it is possible to widen the area of scan and get the most definite determination of any pathological lesions.
It is recommended to go through a mammographic examination from the 7th to the 12th day after the start of the cycle. During this period there is no swelling of the breast, which makes the diagnosis more accurate and informative. In addition, mammography involves breast compression, so a woman during the scan can feel discomfort and pain if the examination will be in the premenstrual period.
Special preparation is not required before the study. However, it is recommended to refrain from the use of antiperspirants, creams and other remedies for the chest and armpits.
Before the procedure, a woman must take off her clothes above the belt, as well as jewelry and accessories. Then it is necessary to take a position either sitting or standing. The abdomen is covered with a lead apron, which protects the internal organs from the effects of x-rays.
The mammary gland should be placed on a special mammograph plate, under which the radiator is located. Above, the chest will be further pressed against the second plate. This is necessary in order for the area of the gland to be enlarged. The result of scanning is displayed on a standard X-ray film.
Mammography is performed for each breast separately. For better visualization, the image can be taken in different projections.
Mammography is performed for women over 40 years with a frequency of once a year, after reaching 50 years - 1 time in 6 months.
Ultrasound is indicated in women under the age of 35 (due to the high density of the breast tissue). Ultrasound diagnosis is shown to pregnant women at risk of pathological processes in the chest.
