What is Mammogram?

Mammogram is an X-ray image of the breasts. During a mammogram, the breasts will be compressed between the surfaces. However, the doctor might recommend us an ultrasound after the mammogram to diagnose and confirm the result, and most importantly for a more precise diagnosis.

Thus, women aged over 20 years old should check their own breasts by themselves once a month, and women aged over 40 years old should undergo the mammogram with breasts and armpits ultrasound annually.
