| Popis: | X-ray mammography remains the most effective technique for routine breast cancer screening and plays a key role in imaging the breast in symptomatic patients aged from 40 years. The quality of mammography images has improved significantly during the last decade with the introduction of full-field digital mammography. However, although it is the most acceptable and effective technique used for population-based screening with reported breast cancer mortality reductions of up to 20%, the sensitivity and specificity of mammography are limited particularly in younger women and in those with dense glandular breasts. |
