Mammography is a specialized medical imaging test that uses low-dose X-rays to examine breast tissue. It plays a crucial role in the early detection of breast cancer, often identifying abnormalities before symptoms appear.

What is a Mammogram?

A mammogram captures detailed images of the breast to detect:

• Lumps, cysts, or tumors
• Calcium deposits (microcalcifications)
• Changes in breast tissue structure

It’s a quick, non-invasive test that significantly improves the chances of early diagnosis and effective treatment.
