Sumida Ward Breast Cancer Screening

Mammography is an X-ray technique specifically for the breast. By sandwiching each breast between special plates and taking a picture as thin as possible, it is possible to clearly see the fat and glandular tissue in the breast. Mammography is excellent at showing minute calcifications, which are a characteristic of early-stage cancer and are difficult to detect with ultrasound.

Our hospital uses the "MAMMOMAT Revelation" mammography system manufactured by Siemens Healthineers.
