Mammography - Digital Mammography

Digital Mammography

Digital mammography is proven to be significantly more advanced than traditional film mammography in detecting breast cancer. Because of the denseness of some breast tissue, conventional film mammography typically identifies only 85 percent of existing tumors. Current research shows that the new digital system may enable doctors to identify more tumors earlier.
