Women's Health Mammograms are an X-ray of your breasts to detect cancer that is often too small to be felt.
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women.
Most women with breast cancer have no known family history of the disease. During the exam, your breasts are compressed to get an accurate view of your breasts and maintain the lowest amount of radiation. The benefits of this test far exceed any risks and brief discomfort you may feel. Mammogram Call your doctor today to find out if you're due for a mammogram. All rights reserved.
