Targeted mammography

Targeted mammography is a modern additional X-ray method for examining a specific area of the breast, for a more detailed study of the tumor process in this area. This study allows you to diagnose the disease and set its stage.

Such a study has very high diagnostic capabilities. With classical mammography, the doctor receives general information about the state of the structure of the mammary gland; during this study, the compression of the area is performed "targeted", while the specialist receives more data about the process in the tissues. The procedure is also performed on patients with breast implants.

When is targeted mammography indicated?

Targeted mammography is performed when the following symptoms are present:

uncharacteristic discharge from the nipples;
changes in the shape or size of the breast or nipple;
discomfort in the chest or discharge from the nipple, which is accompanied by an increase in temperature;

lumps in the mammary gland;
enlarged axillary lymph nodes;
persistent or recurrent chest pain.

It is also necessary to conduct examinations with a preventive purpose, as well as women at risk over 40-50 years old, who have a family history.

How is the research done?

The patient undresses to the waist. Then he puts the breast on the mammography plates, after which each breast is scanned separately in a certain projection. This will allow you to examine with minimal radiation exposure.

The results of the examination are issued by the specialists of our clinic in 1-2 hours after the examination or the next day.
