Mammography

Mammography is a breast imaging technique that uses X-rays to diagnose and locate tumors of the breasts.

3-D mammography reduces the number of breast cancer cases diagnosed in the period between routine screenings, when compared with traditional mammography, according to a large study from Lund University in Sweden. The results are published in the journal Radiology.
