What Mammography (Breast X-ray Imaging) can reveal & when to get it

Main conditions it can detect and evaluate
- Breast cancer
- Microcalcifications
- Breast masses
When to consider this test
Japan's national breast cancer screening program recommends this exam once every 2 years for women aged 40 and older. Those with a family history of breast cancer should consult their doctor.
Screening interval: Women aged 40 and older: once every 2 years is the standard guideline (organized screening program).
Benefits
