Mammograms

A mammogram is a type of specialized medical imaging that is used to screen for breast cancer. During a mammogram, the breasts are compressed between two plates while an x-ray is taken. This helps to create a detailed image of the breast tissue, which can help detect any abnormalities or potential signs of cancer.
