Mammography
Mammography is an x-ray of the breast. It is used to look for things that may be in a breast like a tumor. These images are viewed by radiologists for abnormal findings. A mammogram uses lower powered x-rays when compared to x-rays of bones. Other tests are often used along with mammograms. These are ultrasound, ductography, positron emission mammography (PEM), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are adjuncts to mammography.
