My doctor has recommended that I get a mammogram. What is a mammogram?

A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast used to screen for breast cancer. It is a painless procedure that uses low doses of radiation and takes about 10 minutes to complete. The mammogram is usually done by a radiologist, a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases using imaging tests such as X-rays and CT scans.
