Uses x-ray images of the breasts (mammograms) to screen people for signs of breast cancer.
This service uses x-rays of the breasts (mammograms) to screen people for signs of breast cancer. Mammograms can find tumours and cysts. Some tumours and cysts are not cancer (benign) and others are cancer (malignant).
Mammograms can help find breast cancer in its early stages. They also allow doctors to look at symptoms of breast disease, such as a lump, nipple discharge, breast pain, dimpling of the skin on the breast, or retraction of the nipple.
