What Is a Mammogram?

Mammograms are x-rays of the breasts completed in privacy by a specially-trained female technologist.

A screening mammogram consists of four images (two of each breast) that look for hidden cancer in women who are healthy (no symptoms) and have never had breast cancer.

Those experiencing symptoms including a lump or nipple discharge should see their doctor immediately to determine if other testing is required.
