Introduction
Mammography refers to X-ray imaging of the breast using molybdenum target X-rays. If a breast examination requires molybdenum target X-ray imaging, the condition may be relatively serious. Breast molybdenum target X-ray is usually the first-choice method for diagnosing overall breast diseases, as it enables non-invasive examination with high resolution. However, this type of examination is not commonly used and is generally determined based on the severity of the patient's condition.
"Mammography" refers to mammographic X-ray imaging of the breast. If a breast examination requires mammographic X-ray, the condition might be relatively serious.
Mammographic X-ray is usually the first-choice method for diagnosing overall breast diseases. It is a non-invasive examination technique with high resolution, although it is not commonly used as a routine screening tool and is generally determined based on the severity of the patient's condition. Breast diseases are typically first evaluated using breast ultrasound. When abnormalities are detected, mammographic X-ray may be selected for further diagnosis and screening, which can help identify breast cancer to some extent. The need for a mammographic X-ray may indicate that the disease has reached a certain level of severity, but it does not necessarily confirm breast cancer. A definitive diagnosis must await the test results. If breast cancer is confirmed, a pathological biopsy is required to determine whether the tumor is benign or malignant, followed by targeted treatment accordingly.
In daily life, patients should maintain a positive mindset and avoid excessive anxiety. They should also develop healthy lifestyle habits, such as going to bed and waking up early, avoiding staying up late, and refraining from consuming raw, cold, spicy, or irritating foods.
