什么是乳房x光检查?
乳房x光检查使用 x射线 to look at the inner structure of the breast. Radiologists looking at mammography images can detect cancer when it is too small to be felt.
The breast is compressed under a paddle as images are acquired. 我们使用二维乳房x光检查, 哪个在两个视图中拍照, 和3D乳房x光检查, which takes multiple images from many angles.
3 d乳房x光检查, 或者乳房断层合成, is the best imaging technology for screening women with dense breasts or who are at high risk for developing breast cancer. It allows the doctor to view many thin segments of breast tissue much like the pages of a book. This results in a clearer and more comprehensive view of breast tissue.
Who Should Get a Mammogram and When?
平均风险: Beginning at age 40, every woman should get a screening mammogram annually.
高的风险: Women at higher risk should talk to their doctor about the appropriate age to start screenings and how often is appropriate. Groups who are at higher risk for developing breast cancer can include:
- Genetic mutation known to greatly increase breast cancer risk including BRCA 1 or 2
- Family history of breast cancer, even without a genetic abnormality
- 历史 of chest radiation under age 30
- Prior breast biopsy showing abnormal cells
- 德系犹太妇女体面

40岁以下女性
It all starts with a conversation. If you’re younger than the recommended age for mammography (40 years old for average risk women) and have a history of breast cancer in your family (mother, sister or aunt with breast cancer) talk to your provider or contact the 高风险乳癌诊所 at 570-887-2850. Starting mammograms at an earlier age may be appropriate for you.
Women with a strong family history of breast cancer may need to start mammography screening earlier, 也许只有30岁, and additional screening with MRI may be recommended in addition to annual mammography.
