What is the difference between digital mammography and computer aided detection?
Now, like digital radiography, full field digital mammography is available in which solid-state detectors that convert x-rays into electrical signals produce images of the breast that can be seen on a computer screen. Computer aided detection is a screening test applied to either routine mammography film or digital mammogram to ensure a high yield of detection of early breast cancer 3.In Regional Cancer Centre, which type of detection test do you use? We have a Siemens 3000 NOVA mammography unit with facility for steriotactic biopsy as well as a mammotome vacuum assisted breast biopsy unit. 4.How early can you detect breast cancer in women through the mammography test? Screening, according to American College of Radiology, starts at the age of forty. In women with a strong family history of breast cancer, screening should start ten years before the age at which the first degree relative was diagnosed to have had breast cancer but breast cancer can start at a very young age, like below
