Mammography Screening

Mammography screening is a medical imaging test that uses low-dose X-rays to examine breast tissue for any abnormalities or signs of cancer. It is typically recommended for women aged 40 and older, or earlier if there's a family history or risk factors. The purpose is to detect breast cancer early when treatment is more likely to be successful, often before symptoms appear. The process involves compressing the breast to capture clear images, which a radiologist then reviews for suspicious areas. Regular screening can help identify cancers at an early stage, improving outcomes and survival rates.
