Featured: Mammogram Main Article
Mammogram is a test that produces an image of the breast tissue on film. The technique is referred to as mammography. Mammography can visualize normal and abnormal structures within the breast such as cysts, calcifications, and tumors. The first baseline mammogram for a woman should be between the ages of 35 to 40. After 40 years of age, she should receive a mammogram yearly. Women who are at high risk for developing breast cancer should consult with their physician as they may need to obtain mammograms earlier than these recommendations and at more frequent intervals.
