Abstract:
In the field of mammography, technical progress has been achieved and successfully implemented in routine practice in the last few years. The diagnostic value of mammography has been re-assessed in numerous studies. Breast conserving therapy of breast carcinoma has posed new pre- and postoperative diagnostic tasks. The introduction of mammography into a future national breast cancer detection program will present a challenge for many mammographers in several aspects. Radio-epidemiological doubts about introduction of mammographic screening are in-substantial.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
