Mammogram
Description
A mammogram is an X-ray imaging test used to detect breast abnormalities. During the procedure, the breast is placed between two plates that compress it to spread out the tissue. This compression allows clearer images to be taken from different angles. Mammograms help in early detection of breast cancer and other breast conditions, aiding in timely diagnosis and treatment.

Your Questions Answered
During a mammogram, the breasts are compressed between two plates to spread out the breast tissue. X-ray images are then taken from different angles. The procedure is usually performed by a radiologic technologist.
The compression of the breasts during a mammogram may cause temporary discomfort or mild pain for a short period of time, but it should not be excessively painful. Inform the technologist if you experience discomfort during the procedure.
The recommended age to start regular mammogram screenings may vary depending on factors such as individual risk, family history, and guidelines in your region. Generally, mammograms are recommended every 1 to 2 years for women aged 40 and above. Consult with your healthcare provider to determine the appropriate screening schedule for you.
Yes, women with breast implants can still undergo mammograms. Inform the technologist about the implants, as special techniques may be used to ensure optimal imaging of the breast tissue.
Mammograms involve exposure to low-dose X-ray radiation. While the risk is minimal, it is important to balance the benefits of early detection with the potential risks of radiation exposure. The benefits of mammograms in detecting breast cancer early typically outweigh the risks.
