About Mammography

Mammography is a painless, non-invasive radiological investigation essential for the early detection of breast cancer and other breast conditions. At Topmed Medical Center, mammograms are performed using a state-of-the-art 3D digital mammograph with tomosynthesis—the most advanced device available in the region. This cutting-edge equipment provides highly detailed images of breast structure, supporting rapid and accurate diagnosis of any abnormalities.

Mammography is recommended both as a screening procedure for women over 40 and as a diagnostic method for patients with symptoms such as breast lumps, pain, or changes in breast shape. The use of 3D tomosynthesis ensures improved detection, especially in women with dense breast tissue, where conventional technologies may have limitations.

What is 3D Tomosynthesis and What Are Its Advantages?

3D tomosynthesis is an advanced technology that allows for the creation of three-dimensional breast images by capturing thin sections from multiple angles. Unlike conventional 2D mammography, which provides a flat image, 3D tomosynthesis offers a layered view of breast tissue, enabling the physician to observe details that may be obscured on 2D images.

More Precise and Detailed Detection

3D images help physicians identify and localize abnormalities more clearly, reducing the risk of false negatives or false positives. This is especially important in dense breast tissue, where overlapping structures can hide small lesions in standard mammography.

Reduced Need for Additional Testing

Thanks to the superior accuracy of tomosynthesis, fewer follow-up views or additional tests are needed, ensuring faster and more efficient diagnosis for patients.

Minimized Discomfort and Lower Radiation Dose

Modern digital technology uses lower radiation doses than traditional mammography and is designed to minimize discomfort during the procedure without compromising image quality.

Real-Time Results

Physicians can view and interpret the images immediately after they are taken, ensuring rapid diagnosis and, if necessary, the prompt initiation of treatment.

Digital Storage and Easy Access

All mammograms are digitally archived and can be preserved for many years. Patients receive their images on CD/DVD, and results can be quickly accessed by physicians across specialties, supporting integrated, multidisciplinary care.

First Tomosynthesis Mammograph in the Region

Patients have access to the region’s first 3D mammograph with tomosynthesis, ensuring the most advanced imaging technology for breast cancer detection.

When Is Mammography Recommended?

Mammography is essential for the early diagnosis of breast conditions, such as:

Routine Screening

For women over 40, screening mammography is recommended every two years or at intervals determined by a physician, even in the absence of symptoms.

Diagnostic Evaluation

When symptoms appear—such as a palpable lump, changes in breast shape, unexplained pain, or nipple discharge—mammography helps identify the cause.

Monitoring Existing Breast Conditions

For patients previously diagnosed with a breast condition, mammography is useful for assessing disease progression or treatment effectiveness.

Preparing for Mammography

To ensure the clearest images and minimize the risk of artifacts, follow the recommendations below:

Avoid Lotions, Creams, and Deodorant

On the day of the mammogram, do not use body lotions, creams, deodorants, or perfumes on the chest and underarms. These products may appear on the image and complicate interpretation.

Best Timing for the Exam

It is recommended to schedule the mammogram during the first 10 days of the menstrual cycle, when the breasts are less sensitive or painful. This reduces discomfort and ensures optimal image quality.

Bring Previous Mammograms

If you have had previous mammograms, please bring the results with you. Comparing with earlier images helps the doctor assess changes or detect new lesions.
