Why Is Digital Mammography Preferred For Diagnosis?
Mammography is a specific type of imaging technique or a process that make use of a low-dosage of X-rays to examine the breasts for screening and diagnosis. A mammogram is a resulting picture, an X-ray report obtained to detect calcification or abnormalities in breast.
In today’s time, breast cancer in women having dense breasts can be early detected without the need for additional tests with the revolutionary type of digital mammography, as it allows the radiologists to get improved fine details of the breasts by minimizing overlapping breast tissues and delivering clinical images of the breast layer by layer.
Digital mammography is an advanced version of film-based mammography for breast-related concerns that have changed the diagnosis era as it provides greater accuracy and peace of mind. It allows the radiologists to capture the images of the inside of the breast and manipulate them so that abnormalities can be easily spotted. The procedure is performed the same as that of conventional mammography. At the end of the procedure of digital mammography, the physician gets to see accurate detailed pictures of any changes in the breast tissues in real-time much before these can be felt by them. This way the physicians can deeply examine the breast condition.
Unlike film-based mammography, the digital mammography system has solid-state electronic detectors that are similar to that of digital cameras and capable of converting X-rays into electrical signals. These signals help in creating detailed digital images of the inside of the breast which can be displayed at the same time on a computer screen or be printed on a special film just like the traditional mammograms. The best part is that the physician can anytime manipulate the images by adjusting their color and resolution. With clear and accurate internal pictures of the breasts, the physician can better interpret the breast condition, easily visualize breast tumors and unusual breast tissues, and dispose of the need for additional follow-up imaging of the breasts, hence leading to correct or perfect diagnosis.
