Digital Mammography

General Information

Digital mammography makes early detection of breast cancer possible and improves the chance for recovery.

About 50,000 women get breast cancer every year in Germany.  The number of cases - even among younger women - has risen by more than 20 per cent in the last 25 years.  If breast cancer is detected early, excellent chances for recovery exist.

The safest diagnostic process so far is mammography.  The newest and most modern method is digital mammography, providing the highest degree of precision and diagnostic certainty.

The advantages of digital mammography:

• lower dose of radiation than conventional mammography
• gentle process even for young women
• earliest detection of tumours
• fast and accurate results through computer-assisted diagnosis
