Mammography
Welcome to the Mammography department at Ndola Diagnostics & Imaging Centre, where cutting-edge technology and compassionate care come together to provide essential breast imaging services. Our mammography services are designed to detect breast cancer and other abnormalities at an early stage, ensuring timely and effective treatment.
What is Mammography?
Mammography is a specialized medical imaging technique that uses low-dose X-rays to create detailed images of the breast tissue. It is the most effective tool for early detection of breast cancer, often identifying tumors that are too small to be felt during a physical exam. Regular mammograms are crucial for maintaining breast health and early intervention.
Our Mammography Services
Screening Mammography
Screening mammography is performed on women who have no symptoms of breast disease. It is used to detect early signs of breast cancer, even before symptoms develop, and is recommended annually for women over 40 or earlier for those at high risk.
Diagnostic Mammography
Diagnostic mammography is used to evaluate abnormal findings from a screening mammogram or clinical symptoms such as a lump, pain, or nipple discharge. It provides more detailed images and helps in further diagnosing any detected abnormalities.
3D Mammography (Tomosynthesis)
3D mammography creates a three-dimensional image of the breast by taking multiple X-ray pictures from different angles. This advanced technique improves the accuracy of breast cancer detection, particularly in women with dense breast tissue.
Breast Ultrasound
In conjunction with mammography, breast ultrasound is used to further evaluate abnormalities detected in a mammogram or clinical exam. It helps distinguish between solid tumors and fluid-filled cysts.
Breast Biopsy
If an abnormality is detected, a breast biopsy may be recommended. This procedure involves taking a small sample of breast tissue for further analysis to determine if it is cancerous. Our center offers minimally invasive biopsy techniques guided by imaging for precise and accurate results.
