An X-ray imaging exam specifically for the breasts that detects lumps and calcifications
What Mammography (Breast X-ray Imaging) can reveal & when to get it
This exam compresses the breast and takes X-ray images to detect minute calcifications and masses before they form palpable lumps. It is effective for finding early-stage breast cancer and is used in government-organized breast cancer screening programs.
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
- ○Can detect early-stage breast cancer and calcifications too small to feel by touch
- ○Recommended by the national government as an organized screening program, with substantial evidence of reduced mortality at the population level
- ○Can be completed in a short amount of time
Points to note when getting tested
- !Compression during imaging may cause discomfort or pain
- !In dense breast tissue, abnormalities can be harder to detect; combining with ultrasound may be beneficial
- !Involves X-ray radiation exposure (very low dose)
