Women, who dont take it seriously, have to suffer from various problems later. However, women can overcome this disease, if it is diagnosed at the right time. According to health experts, women, who are over the age of 40, usually suffer from breast cancer.

The image can be altered and transmitted in an easy manner once it is properly stored on the above viewer. A digital mammography not works only for women who are over 40, but it is also beneficial for all women. On the whole, this newer technology is a perfect alternative for all those women who have dense breast tissue. Whether it is a digital mammography or a traditional film workstation, the compression and the positioning of the breast are the same in both cases.
Two pictures of each breast are taken in the traditional film mammogram workstation. With the help of some techniques, a mammography viewer can zoom in an image of a particular area. This image is analyzed later on when it is transferred to a PACS viewer. Before going to enroll herself in a digital mammography viewer, a woman does not need to undergo any diagnostic test. It is advisable to the women to have yearly breast exams and monthly self-exams by their regular practitioners.
