A mammogram is an X-ray image of the breast.
The introduction of digital mammography has led to improved sensitivity in the detection of breast cancer in dense breasts.
At AGE we use this technique that makes it possible to obtain multiple planes parallel to the detector (thickness of 1mm) allowing greater detection and better characterization of breast lesions.
ADVANTAGES OF DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY WITH TOMOSYNTHESIS
Improves the evaluation of breast tissue with the highest possible accuracy for diagnosis.
Greater accuracy in determining the size, shape and location of breast lesions.
Increased probability of detecting multiple lesions in the breast.
Clearer images of abnormalities within fibroglandular and heterogeneously dense breast tissue.
It uses low doses of radiation.
Increased patient comfort as 2D and 3D images can be produced in a single compression.
We have CAD system technology that allows our radiologists to more closely evaluate specific areas of diagnostic interest, since CADs provide a second reading to consolidate early detection of a possible lesion and significantly reduce the possibility of errors.
Important - If you request an online appointment for Mammography and Breast Ultrasound as well, please take your appointments exactly in that order: always the Mammography appointment first and then the Ultrasound.
It is advisable, for a more complete study, to provide results from previous years.

Breast Ultrasound is a test that is generally performed in addition to Mammography, to achieve a more specific diagnosis.
It is a non-invasive test that is performed using ultrasound, free of risks as the patient is not subjected to any type of radiation.
Ultrasound allows real-time dynamic imaging of the breast structure, including blood flow. To do this, after applying a gel to the surface of the chest, the doctor passes a manual device (transducer) that sends ultrasound to the different tissues, so that an image of the explored area is offered on the screen of the device.
