TWO BREASTS. ONE LIFE TWO BREASTS. ONE LIFE Breast cancer affects one in nine women. The earlier a tumor is diagnosed, the greater the chances of survival. That’s why it’s important that your breasts are examined regularly — both by you and your doctor.

Ask for less — it saves lives
MicroDose Mammography is based on a patented technology that makes it possible to take high quality images of your breasts … while at the same time reducing X-ray radiation by at least 50 % compared to other so-called low-dose alternatives.

You’re not alone
Even though this is a relatively new technology, its popularity is growing rapidly. To date, women in 16 countries regularly have their breasts examined at MicroDose clinics.

Welcome to Sectra MicroDose Mammography — for women who demand less. MICRODOSE MAMMOGRAPHY — WHY YOU SHOULD ASK FOR IT MICRODOSE MAMMOGRAPHY — WHY YOU SHOULD ASK FOR IT Mammography screening is the only method of early detection with a proven record of reducing breast cancer mortality. With regular mammograms — as breast X-rays are called — it’s possible to detect cancer up to three years before you might actually feel a lump in your breast.

MicroDose Mammography — a big step down
What sets MicroDose apart is its uniquely low radiation dose — an important benefit as breast tissue is sensitive. A MicroDose examination cuts radiation by at least 50 % compared to all other screening techniques.

What’s more, MicroDose is not only gentle to you, it also makes life easier for your doctor. For a start, examinations are quick. And because image quality is higher, doctors can better evaluate possible areas of concern, including barely visible changes in breast tissue. That means they can be confident in their diagnosis.
