Mammography News
Mammography is the process of using low-energy X-rays (usually around 30 kVp) to examine the human breast for diagnosis and screening.
Researchers identified the risk factors associated with tumours that do not get detected until larger than two centimetre, or about the size of a peanut.
The researchers compared the number of deaths that might be prevented as a result of three of the most widely discussed recommendations for screening mammography.
Clinical breast exam (CBE) is a physical exam of the breasts and the underarm by a trained health professional.
The evidence can be considered for public health recommendations for average risk women, the researchers suggested while adding, “none of us is the 'average' woman."
The researchers found that the number of ultrasound screens to detect breast cancer was comparable to that of mammography.
