In 1927, German surgeon Otto Kleinschmidt (1880–1948) and his mentor Erwin Payr described the first mammography and its crucial role in the early detection of breast cancer [6]. A similar paper analyzing the role of radiology in the assessment of breast tumors was published in 1932 by Walter Vogel [7].
In the mid-1960s, when mammography was still in its infancy, only a handful of highly experienced specialists were using “machines the size of a full-grown bull” to create images of their patients’ breast tissue.
Improvements in screen-film technology and the establishment of dedicated mammography units during the 1980s and 1990s made mammography images increasingly better. As the technology improved, mammography screening for breast cancer also became more common due to two primary factors.
The ACR was a leader in advocating for high-quality care through its 1987 Task Force on Breast Cancer Mammography Accreditation Program, which directly influenced Congress in the design of the 1992 Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA).
Frequently Asked Questions about History of Mammography. 1. When were mammograms invented? A medical procedure involving ionized radiation, the practise of what is now known as mammography has its origins in Wilhelm Röntgen’s 1895 discovery of the x-ray. 2. When was digital mammography introduced?
INTRODUCTION OF A DEDICATED X-RAY SYSTEM: SENOGRAPHETM. French radiologist Pr. Charles Gros asks the Paris-based Compagnie Générale de Radiologie (CGR) in 1965 to investigate a solution to improve mammography. A year after, CGR launches its first breast-dedicated X-ray imaging equipment.
The history of mammography can be arbitrarily subdivided into three periods: The Age of Pioneers highlights the work of Salomon, Kleinschmidt, Warren, Vogel, Seabold, Gershon-Cohen, Leborgne, Egan, Gallager, Martin, Dodd, Strax and their colleagues; The Age of Technical Progress adds the names of Gould, Wolfe, and Gros and their co-workers; The ...
The rise of organized mammography screening has led to a remarkable reduction in mortality through the early detection of breast malignancies. This historical review aims to offer a complete panorama of the development of mammography and breast imaging during the last century.
