Most of them: A mammogram is the screening imaging study of choice for women over 40 years old. Mammogram can pick up about 85-90% of breast cancers. In particular it can pick up many breast cancers before being palpable. Some invasive lobular cancers may be harder to be picked up. However, the mammogram is intended for detection of all breast cancers. Digital technique has ehanced the mammogram quality.
