Begg Technique

Begg’s Technique is an imaging method used in mammography to improve the detection of breast abnormalities. It involves taking two images of the same breast: the first with standard compression and the second with slightly increased compression and a small shift in the position of the breast. By comparing these two images, radiologists can better identify subtle differences, such as small tumors or microcalcifications, that might be overlooked in a single image. This technique enhances the visualization of fine details, aiding in early diagnosis while maintaining patient comfort.
