By Labwala Health – India’s Trusted Diagnostic Partner

When it comes to early detection of breast cancer, choosing the right imaging technique is crucial. At Labwala Health, we offer advanced diagnostic solutions including X-ray mammography and sonomammography (breast ultrasound) to ensure every woman receives accurate, timely, and personalized breast care.

In this blog, we break down the key differences between X-ray mammography and sonomammography to help you make informed decisions about your breast health.

🔍 What is X-ray Mammography?

X-ray mammography is a specialized low-dose X-ray imaging test used to visualize the internal structure of the breast. It is a routine screening tool for detecting breast cancer in women, especially those over 40.

✅ Key Features:

• Uses low-dose radiation
  
  

• Best for detecting calcifications and masses
  
  

• Effective in identifying early signs of breast cancer
  
  

• Ideal for routine screening
  
  

🔍 What is Sonomammography (Breast Ultrasound)?

Sonomammography or breast ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of breast tissues. It is commonly used as a supplementary tool to mammography, especially in women with dense breast tissue or younger women.

✅ Key Features:

• Radiation-free imaging
  
  

• Excellent for differentiating cystic (fluid-filled) vs. solid masses
  
  

• More useful in dense breast tissue
  
  

• Often used in follow-up after abnormal mammogram
  
  

🎯 When Should You Choose Which?

Choose X-ray Mammography if:

• You are above 40 years of age
  
  

• You are undergoing routine breast cancer screening
  
  

• Your doctor recommends a baseline mammogram
  
  

Choose Sonomammography if:

• You are younger (<40) or have dense breast tissue
  
  

• You have a lump or abnormal mammogram
  
  

• You are pregnant or breastfeeding (radiation-free alternative)
