Mammography

Mammography involves specialized x-rays of the breast, which are an important part of breast cancer screening along with annual clinical exams by your health care provider and regular breast self-exams.

Mayo Clinic Health System in Albert Lea now offers three-dimensional (3-D) digital mammography – the latest in diagnostic technology. Digital mammography, or digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), is different from conventional mammography in how the image of the breast is viewed, and more importantly, how it is manipulated.
