Breast examination: How to choose between mammography and color Doppler ultrasound? With the improvement of women's health awareness, breast examination has become an important issue for many women. In breast examination, common examination methods include molybdenum target film (mammography) and color Doppler ultrasound (color Doppler ultrasound). So, how should we choose when conducting a breast examination? First, let's learn about molybdenum target film. Molybdenum target film is a method of examination that uses X-rays to photograph the breast. It has high resolution and contrast, and can clearly show the fine structure inside the breast. Molybdenum target film is mainly used for the detection and diagnosis of breast lumps, especially for the early detection of breast cancer. However, molybdenum target film examination has a certain degree of radiation, and for young women with dense breasts, its diagnostic accuracy may be affected to a certain extent. Next, let's take a look at color Doppler ultrasound. Color Doppler ultrasound is a method of examining the breast using ultrasound. It is non-radioactive, non-traumatic, and painless. Color Doppler ultrasound can observe the internal structure and blood flow of the breast in real time, and is of great value for the qualitative and localization of breast lumps and the differential diagnosis of breast diseases. In addition, color Doppler ultrasound is also suitable for the diagnosis of breast cysts, mastitis and other diseases. So, how should we choose when conducting a breast examination? In fact, the choice of which examination method should be determined according to the individual's specific situation. For older women with loose breast structures, molybdenum target films may be more suitable; while for young women, breastfeeding women, and women with dense breast structures, color Doppler ultrasound may be more suitable. In addition, in actual operations, doctors usually develop personalized examination plans for patients based on the specific conditions and needs of the patients, combining the advantages and disadvantages of the two examination methods. In short, breast examination is an important part of women's health. When choosing the examination method, we should fully understand the advantages and disadvantages of various methods and choose according to our actual situation. At the same time, we should also pay attention to breast health knowledge, improve self-care awareness, and protect our own health. |
