            ποΈWhat is a mammogram?
Itβs an X-ray of the breast used in the NHS Breast Screening Programme to help detect #BreastCancer early, often before symptoms appear.
Breast screening saves around 1,300 lives each year in the UK.

            π What is a #FASTMRI scan?
Itβs an abbreviated breast MRI that takes 3 to 5 minutes to acquire (vs ~20 mins for full MRI). Itβs designed to spot aggressive breast cancers irrespective of breast density. Itβs safe and painless.
