Mammography is the most common method for diagnosing mammary glands. It is an X-ray of the mammary glands.

When is a mammogram performed?

The World Health Organization recommends an annual prophylactic mammogram in women over 40 years of age. In case of hereditary predisposition, prevention should start earlier. Screening is also performed in women who do not have visible changes and complaints related to the breast. Screening mammography can detect tumors that are not palpable (palpable) on physical examination.

Diagnostic mammography is also used in women who have breast symptoms such as:

  • palpable formation (seal, lump)
  • chest pain
  • presence of secretion from the milk ducts
  • skin changes in the nipple, areola or other areas of the breast
  • redness, etc.

Early diagnosis is extremely important in the study of malignancies. The earlier breast cancer is detected and diagnosed, the greater the chance that it will be completely overcome. Digital mammography can detect finds of a few millimeters that can be operated on locally with minimal discomfort.

Why choose digital mammography?

Digital mammography has a number of advantages over the currently widely used conventional method:

  • Several times lower radiation
  • No pain or discomfort
  • Extremely high image resolution
  • Storage of research in a computer database – for easy comparison and sending to various specialists without the risk of loss or damage
  • Study of women with breast implants

Why choose Center for Imaging Diagnostics MLADOST?

We have installed MAMMOMAT Fusion – the latest generation of digital mammography of the world leader in medical equipment – Siemens. The device introduces new standards regarding the accuracy of digital mammograms.

MAMMOMAT Fusion automatically and customized for each patient and each breast individually determines the lowest values of compression and X-ray radiation, which achieves a quality image. The device virtually eliminates the human factor in the selection of these parameters and puts an end to worries about pain or unnecessary radiation. Automatic algorithms and built-in sensors record the density and size of each breast with unattainable precision. This reduces to zero the need to repeat exposures due to incorrectly selected parameters. Thanks to the sensors for adaptive compression adjustment, as well as special exposure modes, the system allows the examination of patients with breast implants.

MAMMOMAT Fusion has the largest spatial range, which allows examination in a sitting position, which is especially important for patients with limited mobility.

Is it possible to do digital mammography with a referral from the National Health Insurance Fund?

Yes, the Center for Imaging Diagnostics MLADOST works for the Health Insurance Fund.

The referral for mammography is code 10.03. All women in the age group between 50 and 69 are entitled to a prophylactic mammography referral. It is issued by the GP once every two years.

A referral for mammography can also be issued by a specialist-thoracic surgeon or obstetrician-gynecologist in the presence of complaints.

50% discount for DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY in July, August and September

The latest digital mammograph of the world technology leader – Siemens – has been installed in the Center for Imaging Diagnostics MLADOST. MAMMOMAT Fusion is unprecedented in terms of precision, comfort during testing and reduction of radiation levels.

From today until the end of September, all patients will be able to be examined at a promotional price of BGN 25. Mammograms can also be performed with a referral to the Health Insurance Fund.

Early diagnosis is extremely important in the study of malignancies. The earlier breast cancer is detected and diagnosed , the greater the chance that it will be completely overcome. Digital mammography can detect finds of a few millimeters that can be operated on locally with minimal discomfort.

The digital mammograph MAMMOMAT Fusion has automatic algorithms for dosing the pressure of the blades on the chest and determining the extremely low radiation dose. The device automatically and customized for each patient and each breast individually determines the minimum compression and X-ray intensity at which quality image is achieved.

MAMMOMAT Fusion virtually eliminates the possibility of human error and puts an end to the pain and discomfort of testing. The sensors are so sensitive that this system examines patients with breast implants, which is almost impossible with an analog device. The device also has the largest spatial range, providing research in a sitting position . This is especially important for patients with limited mobility.

Digital images are stored in a secure server system and each patient has the opportunity to download a complete database of old research , without any loss of information value, as observed with X-ray plates. This functionality is especially important when tracking a process and the need for a chronological dossier to obtain a second opinion.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2020 breast cancer has replaced lung cancer as the most common cancer in the world. Almost 12 percent of newly registered cancers per year are from breast cancer – that’s 2.3 million new cases.

The statistics were presented at a WHO briefing on World Cancer Day (February 4th). ” Lung cancer has taken the first place in the last two decades, but it is now in second place, followed by colon cancer,” experts said.

In women, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Among the main risk factors, in addition to genetic predisposition, are obesity and unhealthy lifestyles. According to the WHO, nearly a third of cancer deaths are due to smoking, high body mass index, insufficient consumption of fruits and vegetables, lack of physical activity and alcohol use.

The Pavid 19 pandemic has also had a negative impact, resulting in significant delays in early diagnosis. The health systems of many countries are under stress, and clinical trials and the development of new drugs have been left in the background.

Timely diagnosis is extremely important in the study of malignant tumors. The earlier breast cancer is detected and diagnosed, the greater the chance that it will be completely overcome.

The best method for imaging the mammary glands is mammography. Only through it is possible to establish the so-called microcalcifications, which are visualized as point shadows. They are the earliest symptom of cancerous changes. It takes about 2 years from this stage to the formation of a lump that can be detected by touch. This is a period that is extremely valuable for successful treatment, and without mammography it is usually wasted.

With the development of technology, mammography of the mammary glands is also becoming digital. Digital mammography has a number of advantages over the currently widely used conventional method:

  • Several times lower radiation
  • No pain or discomfort
  • Extremely high image resolution
  • Storage of research in a computer database – for easy comparison and sending to various specialists without the risk of loss or damage
  • Study of women with breast implants

Digital mammography can detect finds of a few millimeters that can be operated on locally with minimal discomfort. Unfortunately, analog mammographs are still widely used in Bulgaria.

MAMMOMAT Fusion – the latest generation of digital mammography of the world leader in the field of medical equipment – Siemens, has been installed in the Center for Imaging Diagnostics MLADOST.

The latest digital mammogram of the world technology leader Siemens has been installed in the Center for Imaging Diagnostics MLADOST. MAMMOMAT Fusion is the result of over 10 years of development of the company and comes to replace the first generation of digital devices. There are many advanced solutions, but the most distinctive among them are the automatic algorithms for dosing the pressure of the shoulder blades on the chest and determining the extremely low radiation dose .

The device automatically and customized for each patient and each breast individually determines the minimum compression and X-ray intensity at which quality image is achieved.

For comparison, the radiation in the previous generation of digital mammograms has been reduced 2 times, and compared to conventional devices (widely used in Bulgaria), even more. The new generation Csl detector, which maintains high sensitivity at low radiation intensity, has made a major contribution to reducing radiation exposure.

Excessive compression of the mammographic scapulae on each breast examined is the factor that most often causes unpleasant memories in patients. The reason for this is usually the desire of the laboratory assistant to “reinsure” against poor image quality, which leads to an overdose of pressure.

MAMMOMAT Fusion virtually eliminates the possibility of human error and puts an end to the pain and discomfort of testing . The sensors are so sensitive that this system examines patients with breast implants, which is almost impossible with an analog device. The device also has the largest spatial range, providing research in a sitting position . This is especially important for patients with limited mobility.

Digital images are stored in a secure server system and each patient has the opportunity to download a complete database of old research , without any loss of information value, as observed with X-ray plates. This functionality is especially important when tracking a process and the need for a chronological dossier to obtain a second opinion.
