Description
This combined product allows the performance of two diagnostic tests such as digital mammography and digital ultrasound.
Breast cancer is the most prevalent among Spanish women, and the only accepted diagnostic test for its detection is mammography, since it allows detection in the initial phase, even before symptoms begin.
On the other hand, ultrasound is a complementary test to mammography since it allows us to know the state of breast processes that present symptoms such as pain, inflammation, discharge or lumps; thus reducing the suffering of the patients.
To carry out these diagnostic tests, at Centro de Mama de Tenerife they have the best human team and the highest technology in radiodiagnosis.

What is a digital ultrasound for?
Digital ultrasound is a complementary test to mammography and allows obtaining more data when a tumor has been detected, if there is discharge from the nipples or if the results of the mammography have been abnormal.
Who should have a mammogram?
Unless patients are at risk for breast cancer, they should start mammograms starting at age 40.
