Mammography and tomosynthesis
The basis of screening over age 40.
A mammogram images breast tissue with low-dose X-rays and is one of the most effective screening methods for early diagnosis of breast cancer.
In tomosynthesis (3D breast imaging) breast tissue is scanned layer by layer and detailed images are created in thin slices; it helps reduce false-positive results of mammography.
The screening plan is set with the doctor according to age, family history and risk factors. A woman with no complaints is advised to see a specialist once a year from age 40.
