What to Expect From a Mammogram: Knowing What to Expect During a Mammogram Can Make it Easier, American Cancer Society:"For some women, the thought of picking up the phone and scheduling a mammogram is a daunting task. Knowing what to expect, however, can make it easier. The American Cancer Society (ACS) offers a pamphlet called "8 Things to Expect When You Get a Mammogram" that can help reduce the stress you might feel when the calendar says it's time for your annual mammogram. Following are the eight tips, along with more advice from"

******************************************************

What are Mammograms? What Can Mammograms Tell About the Breast:"A mammogram is a special kind of X-ray that allows the doctor to see into the breast tissue. It is performed by gently compressing the woman’s breast in the mammogram machine and then taking pictures in two different views. One view will be an image of the breast as it appears from on top down (cranio-caudal view) as shown in the firs picture. The second picture taken is a sideways image (medio-lateral view) as shown in our second picture."

******************************************************

Cancerhelp UK, The Mammogram:"A mammogram is an X-ray of the breasts. It is used to screen for breast cancer in women between 50 and 70 in the UK. It is also used as a test for breast cancer in women who have symptoms, such as a lump. A radiographer helps you to position one breast at a time on a small flat plate, with an X-ray plate under it. There is another flat plate above your breast. When the machine is switched on, your breast is pressed down between the plates by the machine in order to get the clearest picture for the doctors to examine. This can be a bit uncomfortable but shouldn't be painful. Two pictures are taken: one from above and one from the side. This is to make doubly sure that nothing is missed."
