Description

Ductography is an X-ray imaging test for diagnosing nipple discharge or suspected breast duct abnormalities, with costs typically ranging ¥800–¥1500 in China; ChinaMedicalHub helps coordinate hospital appointments and interpreter support.

Main Uses

The primary purpose of Galactography is to evaluate the cause of nipple discharge, especially when it's bloody or clear and coming from a single duct. It is used to identify intraductal papillomas, other benign growths, or early signs of cancer. This test is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions that are not easily detected through mammography or ultrasound alone.

Normal Range

For a Galactography (Breast Ductogram), the normal range is not defined by numerical values but rather by the absence of abnormal findings such as filling defects, dilated ducts, or masses. The imaging should show smooth, unobstructed ductal pathways without any irregularities.

Low Values - Possible Causes

Galactography does not produce 'low' or 'high' value readings; however, if there's an issue with contrast medium flow, it could be due to: blockage in the duct, technical issues during the procedure, or insufficient contrast injection.

High Values - Possible Causes

Similarly, 'high' values do not apply. However, excessive contrast medium spread or leakage might indicate: rupture of the duct, severe inflammation, or a large cystic structure within the breast tissue.
