Mammography
Mammography is the use of low-dose x-rays (radiation) to make a picture of the tissue inside the breast. The resulting picture is called a mammogram. Mammography is used to screen for and diagnose breast cancer by detecting tumors or other changes in breast tissue. A mammogram can identify abnormalities before a lump can be felt, and therefore aids in early detection of cancer, which improves chances of successful treatment. Learn more about mammography.
