Mammogram

At Perak Community Specialist Hospital (PCSH), mammograms are often used to detect breast cancer. This screening process involves compressing the breasts between two firm surfaces and then taking an X-ray image which is viewed on a computer screen by a doctor looking for signs of abnormalities, such as cancer.

Mammograms can be a lifesaver and it’s important for women, and sometimes men, to keep up with the doctor’s schedule for when they need one. The frequency of a mammogram varies depending on age and personal history. Our specialist consultants are here to provide you with more information on what is best for your individual needs.
