Mamografía
La mamografía es una técnica que emplea rayos X de bajo poder y proporciona una imagen de la estructura interna del seno. El mamograma puede ser útil para diagnosticar los problemas de seno e incluso el cáncer. Se recomienda que las mujeres se practiquen un mamograma de base a los 40 años y posteriormente un mamograma cada dos años hasta los 50 años; después de los 50 años, las mujeres deben realizarse un mamograma todos los años.
