Advantages and disadvantages of mammography

1. More accurate cancer detection: Compared with traditional two-dimensional mammography, mammography provides more detailed images of breast structure, which helps doctors to find smaller and earlier tumors or lesions.

2. Reduce false positive results: Breast tomography can reduce false positive results caused by tissue overlap, because it can provide three-dimensional image slices, so that doctors can observe the structure in the breast more clearly.

3. Better visualization: Mammography can obtain images with different angles and depths, provide more comprehensive and clear breast images, and help doctors better evaluate abnormal areas. Disadvantages:

4. Need a long scanning time: Compared with traditional mammography, mammography needs a long scanning time because it involves multi-angle and multi-level image acquisition.

5. Increased radiation dose: Compared with traditional mammography, the radiation dose of mammography has increased, but it is still within the radiation safety range.

6. High cost: The equipment and technology of mammography are relatively new, so the cost of equipment and technology may be high, which will limit its availability in some areas or medical institutions.
