Description
Estimated cost for Mammography at general public hospitals in China is about ¥140-320, and at Grade 3A hospitals about ¥200-400, varying by hospital tier and region.
Main Uses
The primary purpose of mammography (molybdenum target X-ray) is to screen for and diagnose breast cancer. It is used in routine screening for women over 40 years old, to evaluate breast lumps or other symptoms, and to monitor changes in breast tissue over time, especially in those with a history of breast cancer or at high risk due to genetic factors.
Normal Range
Mammography does not have a numerical normal range. The results are interpreted based on the presence or absence of abnormalities such as masses, calcifications, and architectural distortions. A normal mammogram shows no signs of cancer or other suspicious areas.
Low Values - Possible Causes
N/A - Mammography is an imaging test and does not produce values that can be low. Abnormalities detected could indicate benign conditions or early stages of breast cancer, but these are not categorized as 'low' values.
High Values - Possible Causes
N/A - Mammography is an imaging test and does not produce values that can be high. Findings such as dense breast tissue, masses, or microcalcifications may suggest the need for further investigation, but these are not considered 'high' values.
