Answers to common questions about mammograms
What is a mammogram?
A mammogram is an X-ray picture of the breast. The mammogram allows a doctor to look closer for changes in breast tissue that can’t be felt during a breast exam.
Mammography is used as a cancer screening tool for detecting breast cancer early in women who have no signs or symptoms.
It’s also used to detect cancer in women who have breast symptoms, such as a change in shape or size of breast lumps.
