Digital Mammography

Mammography involves utilizing X-ray technology to examine breast tissue, resulting in the creation of an image known as a mammogram. This imaging technique is instrumental in identifying potential issues within the breasts, including cysts and cancer. A mammogram can help detect problems with your breasts, such as cysts or cancer.

Schedule the test for one week after your period when your breasts are less tender.
Make sure you get your last mammogram, that lets the doctor compare the two.
On the morning of your test, wash your breasts and underarms but don’t use deodorant, powder or perfume.
Wear a top that you can remove easily.
