Mammography uses low-dose X-rays to capture multiple layers of images within each breast. These images enable us to detect tumors or tiny calcium deposits that sometimes signal the presence of cancer.
Mammography is the most reliable technique used to detect lumps and other symptoms of breast cancer in women in its earliest stages – when it’s easiest to cure. The American Cancer Society recommends mammography for middle-aged women. Due to lower immunity, hormonal imbalances and menopause, women post 45 are at a high risk of getting breast cancer.
