A breast screen or a screening mammogram is an X-ray modality which picks up small changes in the breast tissue, before they can be felt or noticed.
A Mammogram is the most effective way to detect Breast Cancer and increases the chances of a cure by 95% in case of early diagnosis. It is used to aid in the early detection of breast diseases such as growths or micro-calcifications before they can be felt by hand.
