Mammography is used to detect and diagnose breast cancer and other breast conditions by creating detailed images of the breast tissue.

Wear a two-piece outfit, avoid applying deodorant or powder, and inform the technologist about any implants or concerns.

The mammography test itself takes about 15 to 30 minutes.

Results are usually available within a few days. The radiologist reviews the images and sends the report to your healthcare provider.

Yes, mammography uses low-dose X-rays, which are considered safe. The benefits of early cancer detection far outweigh the minimal risks associated with the radiation exposure.

The Anti-dsDNA Antibody Test detects antibodies against double-stranded DNA, which are commonly associated with autoimmune diseases like Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).

This test is used to diagnose SLE, monitor disease activity, assess treatment response, and differentiate between autoimmune diseases.

No special preparation is needed. You can eat and drink normally. Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or health conditions.

Results are typically available within 1 to 2 days after the test.

A positive result suggests the presence of antibodies associated with autoimmune activity, particularly in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). Further evaluation is often required to confirm the diagnosis and assess disease activity.

Some discomfort is expected, but pain is usually manageable with medication. Recovery varies based on the surgical method used.
