Digital Mammography (MMG)

What is digital mammography (MMG)?
Digital mammography (MMG) is an advanced diagnostic method that uses digital technology to capture X-ray images of the breasts. This technology enables clearer, more detailed, and more precise views of the breast structure compared to traditional mammography devices. Digital mammography allows easier detection of changes in the breasts, including benign and malignant growth, which is crucial for the early detection of breast cancer and other breast diseases.

How is digital mammography performed?
The digital mammography procedure is similar to traditional mammography, but it uses digital detectors to capture images. During the examination, the patient stands in front of the mammography device, and the breast is placed on a compression platform. Compression of the breast lasts a few seconds, which enables high-quality image capture. The images are displayed immediately on the screen and can be stored in digital format, allowing simple storage and further analysis.

Why is digital mammography important?
Digital mammography provides faster, more precise, and more detailed images, which helps radiologists detect abnormalities early, such as breast cancer. The use of digital technology also enables better image quality with a lower amount of radiation compared to conventional mammography. Early detection of breast cancer significantly increases the chances of successful treatment.

When is it best to have digital mammography done?
It is recommended for women over the age of 40 to undergo digital mammography as part of regular breast health care. Ideally, mammography should be performed between the 5th and 10th day of the menstrual cycle, when the breasts are less sensitive, which allows for better image quality.

How to prepare for digital mammography?
Preparation for digital mammography is not demanding, but there are several recommendations that can help achieve the best examination results:

• Do not use deodorant, powder, or cream on the breast area on the day of the examination, as these products may interfere with image quality.
• If you have already had mammography examinations or have implants, inform the doctor before the examination.
