Mammography constitutes the fundamental examination in breast diagnostics, confirming and increasing its validity over the years compared to other complementary methods.
With the introduction of digital techniques, mammography has entered a new era: digital mammography makes it possible to identify very small and clinically occult findings, which generally correspond to a favorable prognosis, with concrete benefits particularly in the field of early diagnosis.
The sensitivity of the standard examination is reduced in dense breasts, which are typical of younger women, precisely the age group in which recent studies show a higher incidence of breast cancer: hence the importance of overcoming this limitation with new technologies.
