Drawing of a woman standing with her left breast pressed between two plates of a mammography machine. Behind her, a health professional uses an X-ray machine to take pictures of the breast. An inset shows the X-ray film image with an arrow pointed at abnormal tissue. Mammography is an imaging test used to screen for and diagnose breast cancer. It can detect abnormal breast tissue, including cancer, sometimes before symptoms appear. |
