Mammography is a modern X-ray diagnostic method that allows assessment of the condition of the breast tissue and detection of structural changes in the tissues. For women over 40, regular examinations are an important component of prevention and early detection of breast diseases. Mammography makes it possible to identify pathological changes even before clinical symptoms appear, when treatment is most effective.
You can undergo mammography in Kyiv at the medical center «Oxford Medical». The examination is performed using modern digital equipment, which ensures high image quality and minimal radiation exposure. You can book a mammography appointment by phone.
Mammography is an X-ray examination of the breasts used to detect structural changes in breast tissue. The method is based on the use of low-dose X-ray radiation, which allows obtaining detailed images and assessing the condition of the glands.
The examination is used for early diagnosis of benign and malignant lesions, including those that are not yet detectable by palpation and are not accompanied by symptoms. Mammography allows detection of tissue densities, microcalcifications, nodular formations, and other changes that are important for timely diagnosis.
In the diagnosis of breast diseases, different types of mammography are used, which differ in the way images are obtained and processed. This difference is fundamental, as it directly affects the informativeness of the examination, the accuracy of change assessment, and the possibilities for further analysis of the results.
Main types of mammography:
Images are formed in electronic format, which allows detailed examination of tissue structure, enlargement of individual areas without loss of quality, and storage of data for further comparison over time. This method is characterized by high accuracy and significantly expands diagnostic capabilities.
Images are recorded on X-ray film without subsequent digital processing. The evaluation of results is performed without the possibility of magnification, which limits the informativeness of the examination compared to the digital format.
Today, digital mammography is predominantly used in clinical practice, as it is more informative and allows detection of even minimal structural changes. At «Oxford Medical», examinations are performed using modern next-generation digital equipment that ensures high diagnostic accuracy with minimal radiation exposure.
Breast X-ray imaging allows assessment of the internal structure of tissues and detection of changes that cannot be identified during palpation.
The examination can reveal:
tissue densities in the breasts that are not always detectable on palpation;
nodular formations of various sizes and structures;
microcalcifications — small calcium deposits that have important diagnostic value;
areas of fibrotic or structural changes in the tissues;
signs of changes that may correspond to both benign and malignant processes.
Mammography results make it possible to determine the presence of tissue changes that may correspond to various conditions, including breast adenosis, mastopathy, and others. To уточнити the diagnosis, additional examinations may be prescribed. In cases where it is necessary to accurately determine the nature of a lesion, a biopsy followed by histological examination is performed. If no changes are detected on mammography, the conclusion is issued as normal, and additional examinations are not required.
Mammography is a standard X-ray examination method for the breasts, used
both for screening and in the presence of clinical indications.
A breast X-ray is prescribed in the following cases:
preventive examination of women aged 40 and older in accordance with screening programs;
presence of breast-related complaints (pain, feeling of tension, asymmetry, nipple discharge);
detection of lumps or other changes during a clinical examination by a doctor;
suspicion of pathological changes based on ultrasound results.
At «Oxford Medical», the examination is carried out using a modern expert-class digital device. The procedure takes only a few minutes and is performed in a calm environment. Thanks to advance scheduling, patients avoid queues and long waiting times, while the friendly atmosphere and organized service make the visit as comfortable as possible.
Stages of mammography:
before the examination, the patient undresses to the waist and removes jewelry from the neck and chest area;
the specialist helps the patient position herself correctly at the device to obtain clear images;
brief gentle compression is performed, which is necessary to obtain a high-quality image;
images are taken in standard projections for each breast, and additional targeted views if necessary.
During the procedure, short-term discomfort is possible, but it passes quickly. After the examination is completed, the patient receives the mammography results in the form of a conclusion from a radiologist.
Mammography does not require complex special preparation; however, several simple rules will help make the examination as informative and comfortable as possible.
Recommended:
plan the examination for days 5–12 of the menstrual cycle, when the breasts are less sensitive;
on the day of the procedure, do not use deodorant, antiperspirant, talcum powder, creams, or perfumes in the armpit and chest area, as they may affect image quality;
choose comfortable clothing that is easy to remove down to the waist.
If you have implants, have previously undergone breast surgery, or have medical clips implanted, it is important to inform the specialist before the examination — this will help properly plan the imaging and correctly evaluate the results.
The cost of mammography depends on the scope of the examination, primarily on the number of projections. Standardly, the study is performed in basic projections for each breast. If additional targeted images are required to clarify findings, they are paid separately. You can find out mammography prices here or by contacting the contact center by phone.
At the private clinic «Oxford Medical», you can receive all necessary medical services in one place. To undergo the examination without waiting, it is necessary to book an appointment in advance at a convenient time.
Mammography can be done at the new medical center "Oxford Medical" at 7A Parkovo-Syretska Street in the Shevchenkivskyi district of Kyiv. The clinic is located next to the metro station "Dorohozhychi". It is easy to get here both by public transport and by your own car. A large free parking lot is provided for visitors to the clinic.
Mammography is usually recommended to begin at age 40 as a routine preventive examination for early detection of changes in breast tissue. At this age, the method is most informative. If there are complaints, a hereditary predisposition or other risk factors, the doctor may advise you to undergo mammography earlier and determine an individual control scheme.
The most recommended period for mammography is considered to be days 5–12 of the menstrual cycle, counting from the first day of menstruation. At this time, the mammary glands are less swollen and sensitive, which reduces discomfort during the procedure and allows for clearer and more informative images to assess the condition of the tissues.
Breast X-rays can be performed during menstruation, but they are not always comfortable. During this period, the breasts are often more sensitive, which can increase discomfort when squeezed. Unless the examination is urgent, doctors usually recommend postponing it until the first few days after the end of menstruation.
The frequency of mammography depends on age, the results of previous examinations and the doctor's recommendations. Most often, preventive examinations are carried out once a year or once every two years. If changes have already been detected or there are risk factors, the examination schedule may be different and is determined individually after consultation.
Mammography is an X-ray method that is good at detecting microcalcifications and early structural changes, so it is most often used for screening after the age of 40. Ultrasound allows for a detailed assessment of cysts and nodules, including changes characteristic of conditions such as mastopathy. In clinical practice, these methods are often combined to more accurately assess the condition of the mammary glands.
During mammography, there may be brief discomfort associated with the compression of the breast between the plates of the device. This is necessary to obtain a high-quality image and lasts only a few seconds. Most patients tolerate the procedure well. To reduce discomfort, it is recommended to choose days of the cycle with minimal breast sensitivity.
Mammography, like any diagnostic method, is not completely infallible. Sometimes changes look suspicious, but turn out to be benign, or vice versa. Therefore, correct interpretation of the images and comparison with previous ones in dynamics is important. If the conclusion is doubtful, additional projections, ultrasound, and, if indicated, a biopsy are often performed.
During pregnancy, mammography is usually not performed due to the use of X-rays. The main method of examination during this period is ultrasound. Mammography may be considered only in exceptional cases for strict indications. At the same time, lactation is not an absolute contraindication to examination, but the appropriateness of mammography is determined by the doctor individually.
There is no clearly established mandatory break between mammography and fluorography, since both examinations have a relatively low radiation dose. If the examinations are planned, it is convenient to spread them out over several days. If they need to be performed quickly, it is important to inform the doctor or X-ray technician about recent examinations.
