My doctor says that I need to get a mammogram. What is a mammogram?

A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast. It is used to detect breast cancer in women who are at high risk for developing the disease. The mammogram is usually done by a radiologist, a doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases using medical imaging techniques such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI's, ultrasounds, and nuclear medicine scans.
