Mammogram

One of the main advantages of digital mammography is enhanced effectiveness in pinpointing abnormalities in dense breast tissue. On a film mammogram, dense (but perfectly healthy) breast tissue appears white, as do abnormal tissues. A digital mammogram makes it easier to differentiate between abnormal and healthy, dense breast tissues.

Additionally, digital mammograms produce images that can be reviewed almost instantaneously, even while the patient is still in the exam room. In contrast, the images produced during standard mammograms require a longer wait time for results.

Additional benefits of digital mammography include:

• A lower average radiation dosage
• An easier image to share and store (in the event that a second opinion is required)
• The potential for computerized analysis (in addition to traditional analysis by a radiologist)
