MAMMOGRAM IN BARODA
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. According to various studies done in the United Kingdom and India, every woman over 40 years of age should undergo regular Mammograms to screen for breast cancer. Detected early, breast cancer is completely curable. One in 8 women detected with breast cancer lose their lives to it, mainly because of late detection and hesitancy in opting for a screening. A mammogram is an x-ray examination of the breasts, used to detect and diagnose breast diseases. Our mammogram machines are completely digital and painless enabling us to pinpoint abnormalities.
WHY SHOULD YOU TAKE A MAMMOGRAM STUDY ?
To look for early signs of breast cancer.
To investigate breast changes such as new breast lump, breast pain, nipple discharge etc.
Breast Sonogram
MAMMOGRAM PROCEDURE
The procedure involves pressing the breasts between two plates to atten them and make them easier to image.
It is performed as either a screening mammogram (for women with no breast symptoms) or as a diagnostic mammogram (for women with breast symptoms). If you are a woman above age 40, you are recommended to take Screening mammograms every year. Diagnostic mammograms are recommended for women with breast symptoms, such as a lump, pain, nipple discharge, or change in breast size or shape.
The screening is usually performed by specially trained radiologists using mammography machines.
Before the procedure, you will be asked to put on a gown. You will also be asked to remove any jewellery or metal objects that could interfere with the images.
During the procedure, you will be asked to stand in front of the mammography machine and position your breast on the x-ray plate. The technologist will then lower the x-ray plate and press your breast firmly between the plate and another surface. This may be uncomfortable, but it is important to keep your breast still so that clear images can be taken.
