What Is a Mammogram?

乳房x光检查(也称为乳房x光检查)是一种特殊的乳房x光检查. Doctors use mammograms to detect and diagnose breast cancer 对于乳房有症状的女性(如肿块或疼痛)或根本没有症状的女性.

A mammogram lets doctors detect:

  • breast cancers,
  • benign tumors, and
  • cysts.

通常,乳房x光检查可以在用手或通过触摸感觉到这些肿块之前就显示出来.

Breast Cancer Mammogram Screening Guidelines

How Often Do I Need a Mammogram?

亨茨曼癌症研究所和犹他健康大学 建议所有女性接受乳腺癌筛查(乳房x光检查) every year starting at the age of 40.

Talk to your doctor about what cancer screenings are right for you. 对于风险高于平均水平的女性和有乳腺癌家族史的女性,筛查建议可能有所不同. 风险高于平均水平的女性可能需要额外的筛查检查.

What to Expect at a Mammogram

当你到达时,你的护士会要求你脱掉腰部以上的衣服,并取下你的除臭剂. 手术过程中大发娱乐会给你一件长袍. 乳房x光检查技师会陪同你到私人乳房x光检查室. 技术人员将你安置在机器中,平均拍摄四张照片,每个乳房两张. 

因为乳腺组织非常致密,很难筛查, 乳房x光检查设备会将你的乳房压在两块底片之间,以减少运动造成的模糊, reduce radiation to the breast, and spread tissue to ensure an accurate test.  

这种压缩只持续几秒钟——刚好够你的技术人员给你的每个乳房拍出一张清晰的图像. 不要犹豫,请您的技术人员解释一下操作步骤. 他们可以回答你可能有的任何其他问题.

Mammogram Results

放射科医生是乳腺成像方面的专家,他们会检查乳房x光照片. 患者通常在24小时内得到结果,通常在同一天.

如果你需要更多的影像检查,诊所会在筛查检查后的几天内给你打电话.
