About Mammograms

A mammogram is a specialized X-ray imaging technique used to examine breast tissue. It is the most effective tool for early detection of breast cancer, often identifying abnormalities before symptoms appear. During the procedure, the breast is gently compressed between two plates while X-ray images are taken from different angles. These detailed images help radiologists detect lumps, microcalcifications, and other irregularities in the breast tissue.

Emirates Hospitals Group offers digital mammography, which provides clearer images with lower radiation exposure compared to traditional methods. This ensures accurate results and minimizes discomfort during the procedure.

Benefits of Mammograms

Mammograms are critical in the fight against breast cancer and other breast conditions. Key benefits include:

1. Early Detection of Breast Cancer
   Mammograms can detect cancerous changes in the breast at an early stage, improving the chances of successful treatment and survival.
2. Reduction in Mortality Rates
   Studies show that regular mammograms significantly reduce breast cancer mortality rates by enabling timely intervention.
3. Monitoring High-Risk Patients
   For women with a family history of breast cancer or other risk factors, mammograms provide essential monitoring to detect changes early.
4. Guidance for Treatment
   In cases where abnormalities are detected, mammograms help guide further diagnostic tests like biopsies and imaging, ensuring targeted and effective care.
5. Peace of Mind
   For many women, a normal mammogram result provides reassurance about their breast health.

At Emirates Hospitals Group, we offer advanced mammogram services for early detection and diagnosis of breast-related conditions.

When is a Mammogram Done?

Mammograms are recommended for various situations based on age, symptoms, and risk factors:

• Routine Screening
• Women aged 40 and above are advised to undergo regular screening mammograms every 1–2 years, depending on their risk level.
• For women with no symptoms or family history of breast cancer, this is a preventive measure.
• Diagnostic Mammograms
• These are performed when a woman experiences symptoms such as a breast lump, nipple discharge, or unexplained pain.
• A diagnostic mammogram provides a detailed evaluation of the affected area.
• High-Risk Monitoring
• Women with a strong family history of breast cancer or genetic predisposition (e.g., BRCA gene mutations) may need earlier and more frequent mammograms, often starting in their 30s.
• Post-Treatment Follow-Up
• Women who have undergone breast cancer treatment may require regular mammograms to monitor for recurrence or new abnormalities.
