Digital Mammography

Advanced technology for early detection of breast cancer

Digital mammography is a high-precision test that uses advanced technology to obtain clear and detailed images of breast tissue. It allows the identification of small changes that may go unnoticed in other tests, using only a minimal amount of radiation, which makes it safe and reliable.

At Salud Integral en la Montaña (SIM), we are proud to have this advanced technology and a dedicated team of radiologists subspecialized in Women’s Imaging, committed to early diagnosis and your well-being.

Why is mammography important?

• It does not prevent breast cancer, but it can save lives by detecting it early.
• Early detection reduces the risk of dying from breast cancer by 30% or more.
• Early detection increases the chances for more women to preserve their breast.
• It can also be performed on men, as they can also develop breast cancer.

When should I get a mammography?

• Starting at age 40, once a year.
• If you have a family history of breast or ovarian cancer, or if you’ve had radiation to the chest, talk to your doctor about the possibility of starting earlier (around age 30).

Quick and safe

• The procedure takes about 15 minutes.
• Discomfort is minimal for most people.
• It is a safe test due to its low radiation.
