Mammography
Maruti Scans and Labs provide expert mammography services utilizing advanced digital mammography systems operated by skilled radiologists and technologists, ensuring accurate breast imaging with minimal discomfort.
What is Mammography?
Mammography is a specialized, low-dose X-ray technique that produces detailed
images of breast tissue. It is primarily used for early detection and diagnosis of breast
diseases, especially breast cancer. Early screening allows for the detection of subtle
changes in breast tissue before symptoms appear, improving outcomes and treatment
options.
Types of Mammography
- Screening Mammography: For women without symptoms, as a routine check to detect breast abnormalities early.
- Diagnostic Mammography: For women experiencing symptoms (such as lumps, pain, or nipple changes) or with abnormal screening results.
- Digital Mammography: Offers electronic imaging for enhanced review and long- term archiving.
Preparation for Your Mammogram
- Avoid applying lotions, powders, or deodorants on your breasts or underarms on the day of your exam, as these can affect image clarity.
- For your comfort, wear a two-piece outfit since only your top needs to be removed.
- Remove jewelry or metal items from the chest or neck area.
- Bring any previous breast imaging records for comparison and more accurate interpretation.
What to Expect During the Procedure
- You will change into a gown and be positioned by the technologist for imaging.
- The breast is gently compressed with a clear paddle to obtain clear and detailed images. Compression may cause brief discomfort but lasts only a few seconds per image.
- Typically, two standard views are captured for each breast.
- The entire exam usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes.
Why is Mammography Important?
- Enables early detection of breast cancer before symptoms arise
- Helps diagnose other breast concerns such as benign lumps or cysts
- Critical for follow-up in women with previous breast issues or surgeries
