Errors and Side Effects Associated with Breast Screening

The main risk of mammograms is that they do not provide perfect diagnosis. Normal breast tissue can hide a breast cancer so that it doesn't show up on the mammogram. This is called a false negative. And mammography can identify an abnormality that looks, like a cancer, but turns out to be normal. This is called a false positive. Besides worrying about being diagnosed with breast cancer, a false positive means more tests and follow-up visits, which can be stressful. To make up for these limitations, more than mammography is often needed. Women also need to practice breast self-examination, get regular breast examinations by an experienced health care professional, and, in some cases, also get another form of breast imaging, such as breast MRI or ultrasound. Since, mammography is the most common form of breast imaging it will act as a restraint for the breast imaging market along with factors, like high cost of imaging systems and stringent regulation
