What is an X -ray mammogram?
Mamogram X -ray uses low radiation to create images of the inner breast structure and detect possible tumors. Created black and white images are based on the density of the displayed internal structures. The mammogram X -ray consists of an X -ray tube and a compression paddle that evenly pushes the breasts on the recording plate under the breast. Mamogram X -rays are carried out by X -ray techniques, lasting about 30 minutes and at that time they are revised by a radiologist.
During the mammogram, low radiation X -rays are focused exactly on one breast tissue. These X -rays are absorbed differently by different types of tissues in or near the breast. The shoulder bones absorb the most radiation and appear the densest or wimest in the recorded image and muscles, fat and any existing tumors will be less dense or gray. The black and white image of what is inside the breast is the result of various densities and is recorded either on an X -ray film or as a digital picture. All pictures will be pe PEExplored by a radiologist or a medical physician specially trained to evaluate X -rays and a summary will be sent to the patient's doctor.
TheX -ray machine looks like a tower. At the top pointing directly down, the X -ray tube where the X -rays are generated and focused on the breasts. Under the X -ray tube is vertically adjustable compression shoulder blades. Below Pál is another vertically adjustable plate that records the image. The breasts are suddenly on the recording plate and the compression paddle is dropped to push out and spread the breast tissue.
X -ray is usually done by X -ray technician and both breasts take about 30 minutes. The patient will be asked to remove her shirt and bra, put on the robe, stand directly in front of the mammogramrent -ray machine, put one breast in the machine and stay as much as possible while the breast is compressed for the image. CompressionThe breast is necessary to balance the breast thickness to provide the best possible image, allow lower doses of X -rays and help keep the tissue calm. After the test, the technician usually meets a radiologist for a few minutes to make sure that all the pictures are clear and the whole breast was captured before the patient was released.
