Mammogram
A mammogram is an X-ray picture that shows the inside of your breast and can detect cancer that is too small for either you or your doctor to feel. Mammography is the best way to detect breast cancer at its earliest, most treatable stage, long before any symptoms occur. A mammogram also may be used to study your breast tissue after you or your doctor discover a suspicious lump in your breast or if your initial breast screening was abnormal in any way. A special mammography machine uses a very low dose of radiation to take pictures of each breast from both top and side views.
