Notable Achievements
How Is The Mammography Test Done?
In Mammography, a woman’s breast is scanned under an X-ray dose. In this test, a small X-ray dose is exposed to the breast. This is painless and non-invasive (that involves no cuts and incisions). The scanned images of the internal structure of the breasts give a detailed analysis of the internal structure of the breasts.
Mammography Test Procedure
X-rays are used in Mammography to get an internal image of the breast. The mammography equipment emits radiation on the breast, which is recorded in a film.
01
The female technician will instruct you to place your breast on a plastic platform. Another plastic plate compresses the breast. The plastic plate is held still while an x-ray is taken.
02
You change position per your technician’s direction. This helps in getting images from different angles.
03
You may be asked to remain still and hold your breath while taking the x-ray. The quality of the scanned picture relates to the stillness of the breast.
Is It Comfortable To Have Mammogram?
Some women find having a mammogram uncomfortable due to factors like the size of their breasts and how much they need to be pressed. Breasts get tender when you are about have your period. Hence they can get sensitive. But a skilful technologist will take care of these things.
