About Mammogram

A mammogram is a specialized low-dose X-ray imaging procedure of the breast, crucial for the early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. While often performed by radiologists, an oncologist may order or oversee a mammogram as part of a comprehensive cancer screening, diagnosis, or monitoring plan for patients with a personal history or high risk of breast cancer. The procedure involves compressing the breast between two plates to obtain clear images of the internal tissue, allowing for the identification of abnormalities such as tumors or microcalcifications long before they can be felt. It is the gold standard screening tool for breast cancer and plays a vital role in improving survival rates through early intervention.

Key Highlights

Gold standard for early detection of breast cancer, often before symptoms appear.Non-invasive and relatively quick procedure, typically completed within 20 minutes.Can detect microcalcifications and tumors that are too small to be felt during a physical exam.Significantly improves survival rates by enabling treatment at the earliest, most treatable stages.Provides a baseline for comparing future mammograms to track changes over time.

Avoid using deodorants, antiperspirants, powders, or lotions on your chest or underarm area on the day of the exam.
Wear a two-piece outfit for easy access to the upper body.
