Digital mammography

The facilities of the Breast Pathology area are equipped with a digital mammography machine of the latest generation, which makes it possible to perform all the necessary tests and obtain a diagnosis in less than a week.

Direct digital mammography is performed in the same way as conventional mammography, but it uses a selenium detector located just below the breast that receives the radiation that penetrates it.

This allows to obtain images of very good quality and resolution, reducing the dose of radiation received by the patient.

Patients with breast implants also benefit from this technology. Likewise, in the examinations of women under 50 years of age with dense breasts, the detection of breast cancer is improved with respect to analogue technology.
