Importance of Diagnostic Mammography

Science and technology are developing on daily basis. In the field of medical treatment, recently the disease which has come up with proper treatment is breast cancer. Diagnostic mammography can be called as an impressive step in the field of medical science.

I have gone through several studies and have observed that every women crossing the age of 40 years should go through the mammography tests to avoid any risk of breast cancer. Diagnostic mammography is that much important.

At homes, women can first analyse themselves before going for the check-up. Self-examinations may include finding out is there any lump found near the breast or under arms. If in any case found the lump or any other symptom, one needs to move frequently to hospital for required tests.

Diagnostic mammography workstation can be easily found in well-known hospitals which is specially designed for providing x-ray image showing any changes in breast size, color etc. Diagnostic mammography viewers are available in two different types - screening mammograms and the diagnostic mammograms.

Both viewers work differently and provide images of breast from different angles to offer best possible view. And such views help the radiologist to go through the tests clearly before reaching to any consequence. Hence, it can be said that diagnostic mammography has been helping the society a lot to get rid of breast cancer.
