什么是乳房x光检查?
A mammogram (also called mammography) is a special kind of X-ray examination of your breast. 医生使用乳房x光检查来检测和诊断 乳腺癌 in women who have symptoms in their breast (like lumps or pain) or for women who have no symptoms at all.
乳房x光检查可以让医生发现：
- 乳腺癌,
- 良性肿瘤，以及
- 囊肿.
Often mammograms can show these before they can be felt by hand or through touch.

乳腺癌乳房x光检查指南
我多久需要做一次乳房x光检查?
亨茨曼癌症研究所 and University of Utah Health recommend that all women receive a 乳腺癌 screening (mammogram) 每年从40岁开始.
Breast cancer screening from your doctor helps find 乳腺癌 early, when it is easier to treat. Multiple studies have found that screening every year starting at 40 saves the most lives of 乳腺癌, 即使是没有家族史的女性.
和你的医生谈谈 哪些癌症筛查适合你. Screening recommendations may be different for women at higher-than-average risk and women who have a family history of 乳腺癌. Women who are at a higher-than-average risk may need additional screening exams.
乳房x光检查有什么期待
When you arrive, your nurse will ask to undress from the waist up and take off your deodorant. We will give you a robe to wear during the procedure. A mammography technologist will escort you to a private mammography room. The technologist positions you in the machine and takes on average four images, two for each breast.
Because breast tissue can be very dense and difficult to screen, the mammogram equipment will press your breast between two plates to reduce blur from motion, 减少对乳房的辐射, 并展开组织以确保准确的测试.
The compression only lasts for a few seconds – just long enough for your technologist to get a good image of each of your breasts. Do not hesitate to ask your technologist to explain the procedure. They can answer any other questions that you may have.
乳房x光检查的结果
Radiologists, who are experts in breast imaging, review the mammography images. 病人 usually receive results within 24 hours, generally on the same day.
If you need more imaging, the clinic will call you within a few days of the screening exam.
