Mammography 2 most likely refers to 2-dimensional (2-D) mammography. It is a type of imaging used to examine breasts.
Understanding 2-D Mammography
2-D mammography, also called 2-dimensional mammography, is used to check for:
- Breast cancer
- Other breast changes, such as:
- Abnormal lumps
- Cysts
- Calcifications (calcium deposits)
How it Works
2-D mammography takes X-ray images of the breast from two angles to create a two-dimensional picture. This allows doctors to see any potential abnormalities.
